	Proposal on Cult Data Heavily Criticized

	Thousands Protest Plan to Limit US disclosures

	Treasury Department officials say they have received a
deluge of complaints about plans to exempt from federal disclosure
laws some information obtained in its continuing review of the
Branch Davidian raid.
	"We've gotten 5,150 telegrams and letters, and 5,000 of               	
these were telegrams, most in the last few days.  This is not the               
normal response we get to notices like this," a Treasury Department           
media official in Washington said. Wednesday was the deadline for               
public comment on the proposed rules.  "We've never had anything like           
this before," the official said.

	Blah, blah, etc.

		All of which makes me think it's a good idea to get
		their attention occasionally.  I have trouble 
		accepting the idea of so few letters and no faxes,
		however, and wonder what the actual response has
		been...not that I doubt a government report or anything
		like that.
