Good Morning,

I've got a good one for this group!  We've been requested by DOE to sign
a Final Release form signed by the IO with the signature of two
witnesses PLUS if the awardee is a corporation, a corporate certificate
must be signed and sealed.  Here's the body of the "final release":

"The work under Award No. DE-FGxxx, dated 08-09-1998, between the United
States of America (represented by the Department of Energy, National
Energy Technology Laboratory, and the undersigned awardee, having been
completed and finally accepted, and in consideration of Final Payment
thereunder, the United States of America, its officers, agents and
employees are hereby released from all liabilities, obligations, and
claims whatsoever arising out of or under said award."

I feel like I went to NCURA and returned to another planet!

Any feedback or enlightenment you could provide will be appreciated!
(In the meantime, we're not signing!)
