For the record, as someone who was involved in the Ada 83 design process, I do not remember Jean Sammett having any significant technical comments on the language design at any time, so if she disagreed with technical decisions that Jean was making (decisions by the way that were very thoroughly reviewed by a large number of people), she did not make these disagreements known to anyone else at the time. Jean certainly had a lot of important input and ideas with respect to non-technical aspects of Ada deployment, but I think you may have misunderstood what she was telling you!
