		ABBOTT: That was channeled through the office of the Judge Advocate General; so we would have morning meetings, and then I think here and there the Bureaus had their people, "On the Hill," as they called it.
		ABBOTT: Well, the general procedure was for a detailed complaint, if that is the proper word, to come down from the Truman Committee Counsel to Captain Kennedy, and it was specified that the complaint officer cite, if possible, the particular bureau or division within the Navy Department where the trouble lay, according to the complaint.

		Abbott states that the Aztec culture of Meso-America had developed a complex tradition of rhetoric, which they termed huehuetlahtolli.
		The similarities that developed between huehuetlahtolli and epideictic oratory in such distant civilizations with no contact suggest that rhetorical practice may develop naturally along the same lines, regardless of by who or where it is developed.
		While, due to its brevity, the article does not cover a whole lot of ground, the discussion of Aztec oratory style is fascinating.

		Mr Abbott said he had so far received pledges worth $100,000 for the "pollie pedal", which will end next Saturday at Sydney's Westmead Hospital.

		Mr Abbott said he would use the trip to also look at country health services, visiting hospitals and GPs along the route.
