You may be right.  There may be a federal regulation
          governing the use of lan, internet, and federally supported
          computers.  However, I have been actively involved with
          grants and contract management for the department of energy
          for the last 15 years and this is the first time I have ever
          heard of the issue being raised. I
          would be interested in hearing what
          you learn.  xxxxxx@oer.doe.gov
