Use it anyway!  They can always edit it out, but it never hurts to blow your own horn in heavy traffic.

Yes, but the Times generally does not include more than the person's name and city where they live. I don't think I really need to do this in this case anyway, since my statement contains facts that speak for themselves. The letter is not just my opinion against theirs, so I don't need to prop myself up with all kinds of qualifying credentials. If anyone's interested in who I am, they will most likely Google my name and come up with a list of my published works and background.
