Radiographic Equipment for Cambodia

[Axel Ruprecht]

Steve

Yes. Inasmuch as I assume that the various executives and Presidents of
AAOMR, IADMFR, and other national groups such as CAOMR etc are reading
this. I suggest that we ask AAOMR and IADMFR to speak to each other and see
if they will head this up under ONE of their umbrellas, and then we can see
about channeling our activities. Both ABOMR and AAOMR may be still trying
to maintain some financial assets to cover the costs of the specialty
process which is far from over, and thus I think that we may want more
individual contributions.

What do those groups think?
