One minor correction to this last message.  The correct frequency for
items dated 1/15/02, 1/30/02 etc. would be semi-monthly, or twice a month.
Please refer to the "CONSER Editing Guide", fixed fields.  Bimonthly
refers to items published every two months (e.g., Jan., Mar., May, July,
etc.)- Ed Bergin
