[nagdu] Fw: Here is the resolution pasted

[Darla Rogers]

Dear Larry,
	I was almo0st sure you had included that, as well, but I think,
though I am not 100 percent how NFB works, this language could be included
without offense.
	Again; fine, fine job!!!!! I'll be looking forward to updates on
laws passed by the Michigan Legislature.
Darla & hardworking Huck
