28AUG02 19 Q: The system is asking me to log on by inputting my SSN and DOB. I have been told not to supply that info on the system as a security precaution. What can I do to register? A: We understand your concerns with security, and we have taken precautions to ensure that your information is secure. You will not be eligible to participate in any CL activities without providing your DOB and SSN, as it is an online registration system and manual enrollment is not acceptable.
