And what if this lobbying action towards the US government was indeed to be
seen as a marketing action towards a "customer who will pay you year after
year"? Part of what Byron Davies was talking about was selling Lisp as a tool
for a project ("revitalizing" Washington, DC). And can't the introduction of
Lisp in educational programs be compared to Intel's advertising on TV (TV
watchers are not the ones who build computers)?
