Mr. Adams,

I find it almost laughable that you want to spend someone else's money for 
them.

If this is such a crucial need for history, let history pay for the tests to 
be done. There are any number of historical foundations around, including 
the Jefferson foundations, who should be footing the bill since they are the 
ones with the most at stake.

It is interesting that I brought up this subject on a forum for American 
History and had not a single person interested in this "controversy". I 
think in the minds of most people the DNA showing that there was Jefferson 
DNA in the descendents, was enough to convince them that the Madison Hemings 
story was as likely to be true as the Eston Hemings story.
