Chris:

There was supposed to be a map of RDA to DC issued with the first 
release of RDA, but I think the decision was made not to put it out 
quite yet.  I got a chance to look at it and provide some comments--in 
general my comments were designed to eliminate the leaps of faith 
endemic in the original.  That said, I do not have a version of the 
thing that I can redistribute to you (since it wasn't mine to begin with).

Perhaps you can get someone from the JSC or ALA Publishing to either 
send you the draft or give me permission to do that?

Regards,
Diane
