I spoke with my friend this AM, and she said pretty much what Andi posted concerning the contribution program. She also told me that Doris Christopher recently met again with Buffett and reinterated her position that there needs to be a separation of church and state so to say--that the subsidiaries need to show that they are a separate entity from any Foundation giving, and that Foundation support must be a voluntary choice for any employee. From talking with her today, and now reading what Andi found, it sounds to me as if Buffett has done the right thing in this situation.
