Hi Don, 

Here is the word from NCO:

> At this point, our expectation is that we will be providing 
> operational support to all critical infrastructure throughout any 
> government shutdown.   NCO considers CONDUIT part of our critical 
> infrastructure.
>
> So as far as I know, CONDUIT will stay up and running and providing 
> all the data it does today.  We wouldn't be able to make any 
> additions/removals, but we could make any changes necessary to keep it 
> running.

> I'll let you know if anything changes.
