Tim, NSF never paid any of Gordon's expenses for anything, to my knowledge at least. He made an important contribution to the NATO meeting in Moscow in 1994 by delivering a well-thought-out and constructive charge to the audience about how a bit more cooperation on everybody's part could improve Internet service for large numbers of Russians. I, as co-chair of the event, was quite satisfied that I had spent NATO's money wisely by inviting him to participate. We even fed him (along with the other participants) on NATO's tab. Even with all that, it was still a good deal for NATO (he drank much less vodka than most, BTW...). At 2:18 AM 5/26/96, Gordon Cook wrote: >tim asks who is paying for my trip to Russia.
