I am interested if anyone could shed some light on citizenship/resident requirements in relation to National/USMS relay records. Is it possible for a record setting relay with one or more members of that relay, not being a US citizen(s) or even a resident(s), to be recognized as such?

Farney- there are now more cases of mad cow being investigated in the US than in Canada, but, if you want my opinion, we are seeing the tip of the iceberg in North America; the way livestock are fed, housed, transported etc. in both countries can be very dangerous to both the health of the animals (not even mentioning humane concerns) & eventually to people.
Kirk- now am I to be listening to some callow young fellow from Seattle, breath & taste buds forever ruined by some triple-frangilatte espresso rainforesto from Starbucks? For sure you wouldn't be making such outrageous claims, for it is well-known worldwide that American beer is only barely fit for swabbing down the streets after closing time.
It might be simple to solve this discussion to Tall Paul's satisfaction without a nightmare paperflow: on the honor system. just like Nats qualifying, there would be a box to check US citizen or not, you do not deny them membership if not, simply assign them a unique series of USMS membership #'s that would make it easy for record keepers, top ten lists & meet coordinators to identify them as ineligble for records etc. They could still swim, participate & place if merited, but no official records.
I too have known of people having simultaneous registrations in both countries.
