        Dear Brahmens,
                    in response to Jens Jorgen I think that the data are
    very useful to the community even if we only know the systematic errors
    to 12% or so. Nothing precludes us from publishing a more precise 
    measurement later on. Given independent systematic errors on the tiles,
    the big beam counter tubes and the small tubes we can make an estimate
    of the total yields and widths. Of course we have to propigate our
    systematic and statistical errors correctly but this is not too
    complicated. Also we can make use of Eta symetry and as further 
    constraint on the results.
      It is very important, particulary for the smaller groups, that we 
    submit this paper as soon as possible.
                Yours Michael
