E911 Document Cssts

The following letter is what started the entire E911 document fiasco in 1990.

It explains how the worth of the document was calculated at $79,449.

Note that full salaries and an entire computer system were included as part of the expense incurred in creating the document.

Such wanton fraud and exaggeration is criminal in itself.  The fact that the United States government accepted these preposterous figuress without question is clear proof of whose interests are being protected - at whatever cost.

This document was originally printed in EFFector Online 1.10.
