The article in question resulted in a quick response from CSETI, which
requested that Boylan and others check the facts of their stories before
posting them.  There were a couple of Congressional names mentioned, and a
request of Thurmond's office to confirm or deny his attendance has not
resulted in a response.  The other name mentioned was "Congressman
Weingard", which isn't a current (or former) Member of the House.  It just
so happens that one of the staffers who attended CSETI's Briefing had come
from an office whose Member had a name that was very similar to "Weingard",
which is where I believe the confusion arose.  However, this staffer was
very concerned about her involvement in this becoming public and emphasized
that she was only there to represent herself, so I don't believe that her
boss is involved in this.

While interesting, the article in question by Boylan needs to be fully
checked.
