Through the efforts of Chwat & Co. and those of the Arizona amateur radio licensees, Sen. John McCain's office has contacted the senior committee staff asking for the Chairman's support of our language in his Manager's amendment or requesting that Sen. McCain offer the amendment himself. 73 Joel W5ZN
