Andrew and all assembly members,

  The problem with this "Fund" Andrew, as I have maintained several
times before, it that there is not routing number, only and account
number.
If you check with the US Treasury, they will recommend not sending funds
to such and account that does not have a registered routing number.
In addition, wire transferring to this type of an account is not possible
without a routing number.  Ergo, the ability to transfer funds that would
be a requirement for some organizations, such as ours, is not possible.
