I realize that GTE is a much simpler reference than GTE Governemt Systems
Corporation, Federal Systems Division.  This was the only organization that
was, briefly, involved with alternate roots.  GTE Corporation, GTE Internet
Network Solutions, and GTE Internetworking were not involved.

The individual responsible for configuring one of the DNS servers for the
alternate roots was advised by me to discontinue the support as it had
impacts at other GTE Government Systems' sites.  I am not aware of any
others who may, or may not, have contacted the individual with regard to the
alternate roots.
