Some parts of this site use browser plug-ins, such as Adobe Flash. While the plug-ins are needed to view or listen to some content, you retain control and choice about conducting the download. At the time that we create and post the web pages that require these software plug-ins for viewing, they are provided by their manufacturer for download and use free of charge. We cannot guarantee, however, that the plug-in will remain free, or that the manufacturer will not collect personally identifying information about you when you elect to download the software from its site. If you choose to visit the manufacturer’s web site to obtain the plug-in, please carefully review the manufacturer’s posted policies for details about personal privacy and use of downloaded plug-ins.
Although questions, comments, and other communications that we receive generally are not retained as permanent records, please note that it is possible that any mail, electronic or paper, that we receive as official correspondence could become part of a permanent record, if the mail is part of materials that are scheduled for permanent retention.
