- I will state this again. The purpose of the survey is good. The
- questions are appropriate. I cannot and will not participate since
- you are potentially asking for company confidential information,
- that I am not permitted to just mail out.
-
- I see these requests for info fairly often (1/month?). I doubt if
- the responses give the right kind of coverage of the industry that
- is needed in order to be valid.

- I have to concur with George. We, also, can not release information
- that is confidential to the company.
-
- I'm sure Boeing has participated in surveys where confidentiality was
- assured, but I would bet lots of money that all sorts of legal
- documents were signed before the release of proprietary information.
