We have gone over the issue of the consuls. We could get guys like Mr. Joe McGlynn, who has done it for free in St. Louis for 30 years and is an excellent consul. At the same time, members of Intel and others have offered to go on State boards and said they are willing to serve. These are guys with experience the Government literally could not buy but I do not know how many have been appointed to State boards by the Government. They would be of great benefit to the members of the Irish Exporters Association and would be people they could pick up the telephone to contact. Is it a concern that this offer by so many people has not been taken up?
