I have no reason to think otherwise. And for those who don't want to pay for a
lawyer, you can always try for it on your own. There's a "Do it yourself CJ
approval kit" available at:
ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/export/cjr.kit
Note that I am not recommending this approach -- I have not tried this kit and
cannot speak to whether or not it's the right way to go about it.
