RE: FLASH: DoD Policy: attn. Macromedia Support

[Pbrogan]

I will make sure we get back to you on this. Who should we direct the answer

to?  The pentagon business is critically important to us, and we hope that

Dreamweaver and Flash can be "standards".  Our government marketing director

is in DC this week, as we are receiving a Smithsonian award. Would it be

helpful for him to call you or meet?
