Dick, Although somewhat belated, please accept my congratulations on a FB job in lining up W6RW to assist in our efforts with Section 502 of HR 5252. Good grassroots action.

So, assuming that the bill is adopted by the House on Friday or whenever they get to it, it should go on to the Senate with Section 502 intact. If you're curious you can review the summaries of the amendments that WERE offered at http://www.rules.house.gov/109_2nd/amendmentsum1092nd/109_2ndamnd_hr5252.htm . Congratulations to Dick Norton for lining up Mike, who proved to be well "wired" to Rules Committee Chairman Dreier. 73, Dave K1ZZ
