Good Evening-
We learned earlier today that the Financial
Services and General Government (FSGG) subcommittee of the House Committee on
Appropriations has also included the Amateur Radio Parity Act into the base text
of the ‘‘Financial Services and
General Government Appropriations Act,
2019.’’
This means that the Bill is now on the docket concurrently in
two major committees’ “must pass” bills (NDAA and FSGG). The plan at this point is to get this tacked onto enough big bills
that it has to find its way through at some point.
We are still perusing an
administrative strategy as well as a legislative strategy.
I will continue to keep
the Board informed as things develop.
Vy
73,
Mike
