I don't give a flying rat's dropping for the Ada Mandate. Could anyone who wants to argue either for or against US Governent Ada policies please restrict their postings to 'usa', not 'world'. The Ada Mandate could only have hurt Ada companies if they had bet their businesses on sales to the US Government and ignored the rest of the world. If that's what they did, then the problem is not the Mandate but parochialism. The Ada market _should_ be global, and the Mandate isn't. -- The party that took Australia into Vietnam wants to smash the inner-city yacht school and put a Grand Prix in its place. They don't change.
