for the benefit of historians, a copy of the draft SI (before it was
withdrawn) is available at:

        http://www.fipr.org/press/SI20022322.html

to be paperwork to set the authority levels for each of the additional
agencies - which was never published. But I thought it was going to be
another SI rather than an amendment to this one
