Oops. I goofed. Jonathan Cuneo of the Cuneo Law Group, lobbyist for West
Publishing Company, is not with McKenna & Cuneo and I apologize to
Stephen Rhodes ... Actually I had checked with the telephone company and
asked for John Cuneo and they gave the same number as McKenna & Cuneo ...
but when I just called back, they gave me the Cuneo Law Group.
I just checked the letter Jonathan Cuneo wrote to Reno and see that I was
wrong and that Jonathant Cuneo has a different telephone number and is,
as I just mentioned, with the Cuneo Law Group.
I thought I had double checked, but was just plain wrong.
I guess I should have sent a private message first as I usually do, but
did not do this time. Of course, I private messages are not always
private either sometime!!
Thank you to the librarian, who prefers to remain anonymous, who brought
this to my attention.
