Because our faculty have the responsibility for copying and mailing
proposals (and because our "authorized institutional official" has limited
time available for signing proposals) we often obtain the official signature
well before the proposal is actually submitted.    Even with FastLane
submission, I'll have the cover page signed many days before I actually
press the SUBMIT button.

I'd like to know whether any of you see any problems with this procedure.
I'm especially concerned about electronic submissions, where the formal date
of submission may be a week or more AFTER the date on the official signature
page.
