Ralph Crafts comments about Adm. Tuttle

I am forwarding this from Ralph Crafts, who doesn't have an
Internet account (maybe someboy would like to give him one,
he's an excellent counterpoint to Greg Aharonian).

These comments are his response from seeing a copy of
Adm. Tuttle's (pinheaded) comments about Ada.  If you wish

I had a meeting with Emmett Paige (Assistant Sec. of Def. for C3I) last week,
and discussed many Ada issues with him.  Tuttle was one of the issues.  If
you have not yet heard about Paige's subsequent E-mail message to all senior
Pentagon/DoD officials, it is a beaut:

"ADA IS NOT DEAD
ADA IS ALIVE, DOING WELL, AND STILL NEEDED AS MUCH AS EVER
DESPITE THE VIEWS OF SOME SENIOR FOLKS ON THE INTERVIEW AND
SPEAKING CIRCUIT.

PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I MUST DO TO GET THE SHOW ON THE ROAD AND
REJUVENATE THE ADA EFFORT, TO INCLUDE OPENING UP THE RE-USE
REPOSITORIES TO INDUSTRY AND ACADEMIA WITHOUT ANY INHIBITIONS.
WE MUST OPEN THE GATES IF WE ARE TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN ENCOURAGING
USE OF ADA IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR."

In case you were wondering, Paige outranks Tuttle.
