Mike Kennedy - our man in Marrakesh checks in Monday 6/11 -
"I have no idea what I will be able to provide. No list of entries.
I still do not know who is running what for U.S.
I cannot get on internet through internet explorer from hotel here in Morocco.
There is no internet at hotel, just what I am working on. Keyboard I am
working on is in foreign alphabet. Might be last you hear from me....."
