recommendation"? Sounds a little confusing to me. At the same
time, note that in my response to Philip just sent a couple minutes ago, I
suggested "Qualified Support". I think it may be an improvement to say
"we unanimously support a recommendation with
qualifications".</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>Hi,
<DIV><BR class=webkit-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>I thought that the partial support meant that we, as a group,
had reservations that were expressed in the included
statements.</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=webkit-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>In the preface we say the the level os support an unanimous. So
partial support does not refer to the level of support in the council
but rather to the degree to which we unanimously support
the recommendation as written in the BWG draft.</DIV>
