From our friend in Israel;

Friends:

I’m depressed.  Neither METV, ESPN nor FOX Sports had a single NFL game on during the past, extended weekend.  This does not bode well.

At least I should be able to OD on NFL during November.  I’ll be home for the month lecturing to the Greater Washington Council of Governments on the 10^th, to M-STEP (Minnesota Symposium on Terrorism and Emergency Preparedness) on the 17^th, the Polk County Iowa Sheriff’s Office on the 19^th  and at ITOA (nearby Chicago) from the 22^nd thru the 24^th.  Will be in Connecticut visiting Mom and generally staying at my son and his family in northern Virginia between November 4^th and December 1st.

Anyone Exhibiting at any of these conferences let me know.  Anyone want to attend my lecture(s) on terrorism, but not a member of Hosting organization, let me know and I’ll try to get you in.

For the several of you who asked for specific contact information:

If you are contacted by any Israeli proposing to provide terrorism education and/or weapons or other training, an individual who when you request does not immediately provide you with a copy of her/his official Israeli Ministry of Defense permit to Conduct Negotiation with entities in the USA, you should contact:

Gidon Mertez, Representative of the MOD’s Defense Exports Trade Control Division, at the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC.  Telephone Number (202)-364-5608.

These folks want to hear from you!

Got to run the dogs out.
