- yes</title></head><body>
<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" size="-1">Folks, I am
about to post the final version of the rights statement. Time has run
out, and we have to give a YES or NO response within 48
hours.</font></blockquote>

<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" size="-1">I have had
to try to steer a path between those who would feel uncomfortable with
any statement that suggested exploring new and contentious rights, and
those who would want to reject any statement that did not. Milton
described the problem as insoluble - perhaps he is right. But with
many of us feeling that this rights theme must be explored, I have had
to try to come up with something acceptable to both
parties.</font></blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial"
size="-1"> </font></blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" size="-1">I believe
the only way this could be done was to substantially change the
emphasis of the statement. I have attempted to do this, and in the
process may well have upset some. My intention here is quite clear -
to get a statement acceptable to this list. To me it's important
that we advance the theme and have this emphasis at
Cairo.</font></blockquote>

<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" size="-1">In the
process we may all have to give a little. We may not agree with
everything.</font></blockquote>

<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" size="-1">I've
changed the order of a few things to improve acceptability, emphasis,
and expression. More than I normally would want to at this stage. But
I believe that was necessary to get a consensus
statement.</font></blockquote>

<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" size="-1">Let me also
say that this has been one of the most interesting discussions on this
list for some time, with some very valid, expert, and differing
opinions being advanced.</font></blockquote>
