Project Tesla not Connected with International Tesla Society

A report in Volume 6, #4, linking the ITS with PROJECT TESLA was in error. TCBA has been notified by Thomas E. Wright, secretary of the ITS, as follows: “Although we support Project Tesla in principle as we do any Tesla related research, the International Tesla Society does NOT have any direct connection with Project Tesla.”
