<DIV>I think as originally conceived, if you or your company wanted to become richer by using federal money, there would be some sharing of the wealth with representatives of all groups working in your local area. Hence the tracking of your staff's RNO. The system evolved.</DIV>

<DIV>political correctness is an insult to mankind's intelligence. speak your mind. say what you mean and mean what you say. just use your brain before you engage your mouth...</DIV>
