JLWA is aware of the public and political reactions that have resulted from the issuance of the draft report. The issuance of the draft for public comment is evidence of our concern that our report not be used in a way that would mislead or misinform the public. We are also concerned about possible misrepresentation of the report. As a consequence we feel it both necessary and appropriate to emphasize some issues we may not have accentuated or clarified sufficiently in the draft.
