Seems like a good group here to find people who might
need short-term health insurance through a private
company.  We're moving back to the US and will possibly need
some for a couple of months.
Any company names and the monthly  premium for husband and
wife would be appreciated.
Thanks.

POSTDOCTORAL POSITION available in analytical chemistry.
The research involves surface modified waveguide sensors. The 
candidate should have experience in at least one or more of the 
following areas: sol-gel films, surface modification chemistries, 
surface characterization, infrared spectroscopy, chemometrics. This 
project involves considerable interaction with personnel at Sandia 
National Laboratories; hence a person holding U.S. citizenship is 
preferred. Interested parties should send a resume and two letters 
of reference to Thomas M. Niemczyk, Department of Chemistry, 
University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM  87131.

A client has samples of riot agent (CN, CS, oleoresin capsicum) 
decontamination fluid claimed by its manufacturer to be 
compounded of "herbal extracts," water, and isopropanol.  The 
stuff passes rabbit eye irritation (16 CFR 1500.42) and abraded 
skin contact (16 CFR 1500.3) with flying colors.  It even works. 
Client seeks to identify either the non-solvent chemical 
components of the solution or their origin as plant extractives.
Interested chemists are invited to enquire.  After introduction, 
you will work with the Marketing Group assigned to the project.  
Work and findings are to be held in strict confidence.
Contact  UncleAl0@ix.netcom.com  for chemical data.
         OICURRich@a0l.com       for business data.
