Re: [CPEO-MEF] COMMUNITY: Lake Ontario Ordnance Works (NY) Restoration Advisory Board

This post and posts like this give me hope.  I only hope/pray the 'corps' 
fall under the jurisdiction as anyone of us knows there is 'separate' law 
out there for certain entities.  Which just might be a good question-which 
law does the 'corps' fall under-US citizen, government or military?
