	Fine by me.  I see no hurry in this.  Seriously, I think we
	can and would be well advised to take our time on this issue.
	I also see no reason to decide prior to completing the
	reproductions to whatever degree we decide to complete them.

	The issue of security was raised and it is very legitimate.
	Also, we must decide who will defray the costs of shipping
	from location to location.  There are several key questions
	and issues that need to be resolved before we take any 
	substantive actions.  If you don't mind holding on to what
	exists, I'd recommend we hold off on anything until we finish
	the actual manufacturing.  Or, if you wish, we can ship them
	here to NJ and I will definitely have very safe storage for
	the articles for an indefinite period.  Let me know.
