We received both solicited and unsolicited input from NASA people in both
Washington DC and Pasadena (JPL) in undertaking the 1999 survey that was
charted by URSI commission J. As stated in our report, we made no effort to
distinguish between URSI members and non-URSI members.

NASA individuals, project managers, or highly-placed officials might chose
to make their requirements known on this issue through the IAU, IERS, URSI,
etc. If appropriate, they may wish to contact the ITU's Special
Rapporteur's Group directly.

Are the shadowy folks pushing the dystopian "no new leap seconds"
agenda going to claim that NASA has no standing on this issue?
