Mr. Robert J. Ingstad

P.O. Box 907

Valley City, North Dakota 58072

Dear Mr. Ingstad:

This letter is in response to your undated letter to Keith Larson of the
Media Bureau, requesting that the Federal Communications Commission
("Commission") suspend L. Topaz Enterprises, Inc. ("Topaz") from bidding
in the auction of FM broadcast construction permits, Auction No. 37.[^1]
You allege that Topaz "may be conducting illegal bidding" in Auction No.
37, and further allege that a principal of Topaz has "been in contact
with other applicants" during the auction in violation of the
Commission's rules. Auction No. 37 commenced on November 3, 2004 and is
currently ongoing.[^2]

The Commission takes allegations of wrongdoing very seriously. However,
we are also sensitive to the fact that any action we take during the
course of an ongoing auction, or before the long-form applications are
filed, could harm the integrity of the auction process. Upon receipt of
the short-form applications, the Commission carefully scrutinized each
application to ensure compliance with the Commission's rules. Generally,
we believe it is more prudent to address such allegations after the
winning bidders have submitted their long-form applications (FCC Form
301), when there is greater opportunity for investigation of such
allegations.[^3] As Auction No. 37 is ongoing, we are unable, at this
time, to specify the long-form due date. Please note, however, that at
the close of Auction No. 37, in accordance with Section 1.2108(b) of the
Commission's rules, we will issue a public notice announcing the time
frame and procedures for filing petitions to deny.

Accordingly, your request to suspend an Auction No. 37 bidder from
participating in the auction is denied.

> Sincerely,

Gary D. Michaels

Deep subseafloor sediments and the basaltic ocean crust harbor a global
microbial ecosystem that persists under extreme energy and substrate
limitation. The bacteria and archaea of this deep microbial ecosystem
constitute a vast evolutionary and ecological experiment that comes
closest to a second, unseen planetary biosphere on Earth. Coupling and
uncoupling of this subsurface system to the photosynthetically driven
surface world is an important topic of current research. Three aspects
have to be considered:

1\) To what extent are subsurface bacteria and archaea phylogenetically
and genomically distinct from surface counterparts; as a corollary, did
some ancient archaeal and bacterial lineages originate and diversify in
the subsurface?

2\) Do subsurface microbiota persist independently of energy and carbon
sources on the planetary surface? In other words, is photosynthetic
energy and carbon input a necessity or merely an option for subsurface
life? As a corollary, whwhich autonomous subsurface energy and carbon
sources are known and/or plausible?

3\) Is life detection in Earth's deep subsurface governed by the
limitations of our analytical tools? In our experience, subsurface
investigations constitute a proving ground to assemble complex, layered
evidence for biosignatures on Earth and beyond.

The exploration of deep subsurface life will invigorate reasonable hopes
of finding life on planets with inhospitable or unstable surface
environments. By following the energy (and the water), the search for
life in our universe must focus on subsurface habitats.

**§3.354 Determinations of insanity.**

\(a\) *Definition of insanity.* An insane person is one who, while not
mentally defective or constitutionally psychopathic, except when a
psychosis has been engrafted upon such basic condition, exhibits, due to
disease, a more or less prolonged deviation from his normal method of
behavior; or who interferes with the peace of society; or who has so
departed (become antisocial) from the accepted standards of the
community to which by birth and education he belongs as to lack the
adaptability to make further adjustment to the social customs of the
community in which he resides.

\(b\) *Insanity causing discharge.* When a rating agency is concerned
with determining whether a veteran was insane at the time he committed
an offense leading to his court-martial, discharge or resignation (38
U.S.C. 5303(b)), it will base its decision on all the evidence
procurable relating to the period involved, and apply the definition in
paragraph (a) of this section.

\[26 FR 1589, Feb. 24, 1961\]

**§3.355 Testamentary capacity for insurance purposes.**

When cases are referred to a rating agency involving the testamentary
capacity of the insured to execute designations or changes of
beneficiary, or designations or changes of option, the following
considerations will apply:

\(a\) Testamentary capacity is that degree of mental capacity necessary
to enable a person to perform a testamentary act. This, in general,
requires that the testator reasonably comprehend the nature and
significance of his act, that is, the subject and extent of his
disposition, recognition of the object of his bounty, and appreciation
of the consequence of his act, uninfluenced by any material delusion as
to the property or persons involved.

\(b\) Due consideration should be given to all facts of record, with
emphasis being placed on those facts bearing upon the mental condition
of the testator (insured) at the time or nearest the time he executed
the designation or change. In this connection, consideration should be
given to lay as well as medical evidence.

\(c\) Lack of testamentary capacity should not be confused with insanity
or mental incompetence. An insane person might have a lucid interval
during which he would possess testamentary capacity. On the other hand,
a sane person might suffer a temporary mental aberration during which he
would not possess testamentary capacity. There is a general but
rebuttable presumption that every testator possesses testamentary
capacity. Therefore, reasonable doubts should be resolved in favor of
testamentary capacity.

Re: Docket No. 99‑339

Dear Ms. Salas:

We are writing to you today to ask you to continue your courageous vote

requiring the networks to begin providing essential information to

people who are legally blind and visually impaired.

I am 79 years old and has been legally blind for two decades. Truly, I

appreciate watching and understanding television. The video

descriptions make all the difference in the world to her enjoying the

entertainment. I can enjoy programs with my husband, children, and

grandchildren.

Please continue your defense and support of the video description for

citizens needing help because of their visual disabilities. I certainly

am In opposition to petitioners for reconsideration of the reported
order

on video description.

The video description service is valuable and there is no new evidence

or information to support a change in the FCC decision.

I thank you for your consideration. And, I hope to enjoy the video

description service for many years to come. Yes, I do have family and

friends who need this assistance too.

Sincerely yours,

Geometry-Dependent Photoionization Studies

**of Small Molecules**

S. T. Pratt

Argonne National Laboratory

Many important properties of the inner-shell photoabsorption and
photoionization spectra of molecules are expected to show a strong
dependence on the geometry of the molecule. For example, the position of
σ^\*^ shape resonances are often correlated with molecular bond lengths,
and this correlation has found considerable use in the study of
molecules on surfaces. Unfortunately, although systematic studies of
large classes of molecules provide insight into such geometric
depedences, the direct measurement of the properties of a given molecule
as a function of geometry is notoriously difficult. Pump-probe
experiments involving the combination of optical and x-ray pulses of
femtosecond duration provide an exciting new approach to such
measurements. In these experiments, the optical pulse is used to prepare
a spatially localized wavepacket in the target molecule, and the x-ray
pulse is used to probe the system as a function of delay time, or
equivalently, as a function of the geometry of the molecule. I will
discuss proposed experiments for the Ultrafast X-ray Science Facility at
the ALS based on this approach.

# **To Redesignate the Department of the Navy to be the**

## **[Department of the Navy and Marine Corps]{.underline}**

Dear Colleague:

Since the earliest days of our nation, the Navy and the Marine Corps
have fought, served and sacrificed together as a team. From operations
against Barbary pirates in 1798, through current day operations in
Afghanistan and Iraq, the Navy and Marine Corps together have defended
America's interests around the world.

The Marine Corps, with the support of the Navy, has continued to evolve
and develop doctrine, tactics, weapons and training for the wars of the
future. Today, Marine Corps units represent a significant element of the
nation's military "tooth" and constitute approximately twenty percent of
all active ground maneuver battalions, twenty percent of the active
fighter/attack squadrons, twenty six percent of the attack helicopters,
and nearly one-third of the ground combat service support in the active
forces.

Without question, the Navy and Marine Corps have served the nation as
distinct military services with many outstanding achievements between
them. However, the Navy and Marine Corps are inexorably part of the same
team by virtue of their assigned roles and missions and the environment
in which they operate. I remind you of several examples of the Navy and
Marine Corps team already in existence:

> • Appointment of the 1^st^ Marine to be Commandant of Midshipman at
> the Naval Academy
>
> o Col John R. Allen, USMC - 79^th^ Commandant of Midshipman - Jan.
> 2002-Sept. 2003
>
> • Navy & Marine Corps Stadium - home of Navy Football
>
> • Navy & Marine Corps Relief Society
>
> • Navy & Marine Corps Tactical Aviation.

As the Navy and Marine Corps continue to evolve to confront the threats
of a new century, we must recognize the unique history and bonds between
these two distinguished services. That is why I have introduced *H.R.
34 - To* *redesignate the* *Department of the Navy as the Department of
the Navy and Marine Corps.*

America's interests around the world are many, and true power projection
involves the ability to put boots on the ground wherever your enemy may
be. That is what the Marine Corps has done, and is still doing, in Iraq.
The new title for the Department contained in H.R. 34 would recognize
the contribution of the Navy and the Marine Corps in this new era of
warfare. The Navy and Marine Corps have fought side by side as a team
since creation of the Continental Marines in 1775, and it is appropriate
for the title of the military department and service secretary charged
with advancing their interests to be changed to reflect that teamwork.

If you would like to co-sponsor this legislation, please contact Daniel
Hilton at 5-3415.

Sincerely,

Walter B. Jones

Cane River Creole National Historical Park is home to various forms of
vegetation that are an integral part of the Louisiana experience. To
gain an understanding of the diversity of the vegetation, one must visit
the park during the various seasons.

Fall is the time for pecans. One can stroll the grounds of Oakland and
Magnolia and pick up handfuls of different varieties of this Louisiana
favorite. The park contains the smaller native pecans, and larger
hybrids. Pecans have played a constant role in the story of Oakland and
Magnolia. During the 1940's the Oakland yard-man, Leo Metoyer financed a
Model-A Ford with a season's worth of pecans that he had harvested.

As fall gives way to winter and the rainy season commences things can
appear bleak and barren, however one can observe a strange occurrence on
many of the park's Oaks, and other large trees. The Resurrection Fern
which grows on the limbs of these trees will still appear vibrant and
green. This plant is not at the will of the seasons or temperatures, but
at the amount of rainfall. So when the cold rainy winter claims many
local plants, the Resurrection Fern flourishes.

Spring is a vivacious time along Cane River. Visitors to the park are
often enchanted by the variety of colors produced by the azaleas and
crape myrtles, and one cannot ignore the scent and sight of the blooms
dotting the Magnolias, Louisiana's state tree.

Spring often seems too short in Louisiana, because before you know it
the sweltering summer months arrive. One can find solace from the heat
under the branches of the park's humungous Live Oak trees. The oaks
lining the entrance to the main house at Oakland are especially
magnificent. These trees are believed to have been planted in the late
18^th^ century. The alley that they form was intended to act as a
"breeze way" in order to keep the main house just a little bit cooler.
While enjoying the shade of the oaks, one can contemplate the scenes and
events that those trees have witnessed in their lifetimes.
**Statistics of Current Fluctuations and Coulomb Interaction\
in Diffusive Conductors**

*Dmitry Bagrets*

*Institut fur Theoretische Festkorperphysik, Universitat Karlsruhe\
*\
I discuss the full current statistics (FCS) in the low dimensional\
( 1D and 2D ) diffusive conductors in the incoherent regime,\
eV \>\> 1/t_D, t_D being the diffusion time through the\
conductor\[1\]. It is shown, that Coulomb interaction substantially\
enhances the probability of big current fluctuations for short\
conductors with t_D \<\< t_E, t_E(V) being the voltage\
dependent energy relaxation time, leading to the exponential tails\
in the current distribution. These tails arise from the correlated\
fluctuations of the currents of electron-hole pairs which are excited\
by the low frequency classical fluctuations of the electromagnetic\
field in the system. This effect is akin to photo-assisted shot noise\
in coherent mesoscopic conductor\[2\]. The strongest current
fluctuations\
occur for temperatures below the Thouless energy of the system,\
provided t_D \~ t\*(V), where the time scale t\*(V) is parametrically
smaller\
than the energy relaxation time t_E(V). Remarkably, the time t\*(V)\
transforms to the decoherence time, known from the theory of weak\
localization\[3\], if one substitutes voltage for the temperature.\

-   CAM:

    -   CAM changes will now be permanently saved so it will not have to
        recalculate every time the user prints the CAM report. CAM 2005
        will NOT work correctly with this new version. Please do NOT
        use v. 3.1.2 to alter CAM 2005 data.

    -   Added select all check boxes in Select Location and IRCSRC setup
        screens.

    -   When users choose Print CAM, they will now be presented with a
        message box that states: "If you have made any changes to your
        data, you will need to Calculate CAM before printing." They will
        then be given the option to Print, Calculate, Cancel.

    -   If Calculate CAM is chosen and more than one location has been
        selected then the user is presented with a question that asks
        them to verify that they want to calculate CAM for multiple
        locations because IRC is distributed over all locations
        selected.

    -   Moved Select MU/CRIS button above Setup CRIS button since this
        is a more sensible order of tasks for the user.

    -   Changed Research CRIS label in SubAccount Maintenance to read
        'Research CRIS (Include in CAM)'

    -   Added a button on the CAM menu that allows for exporting to
        Excel -- once users press the button they will have to choose to
        export to Excel.

    -   Instituted the ability for area staff to create an Area CAM
        File. We will need to have a list of users in each area that
        should have permission to access this feature.

    -   CAM Report -- changed the headings, the spacing, etc... to make
        it more closely match the old CAM report. It now fits on 8 ½ x
        11 paper in landscape mode. Also, it is now sorted by Mode Code.

-   Fixed vendor overflow error for system administrators

-   MU Administration:

    -   Does not allow a deletion of an MU if there is an associated sub
        account.

    -   Changed it so a user has to be a system or location
        administrator in order to have the delete command enabled.

-   Financial Plans -- made the necessary changes to have 000 sub
    accounts save appropriately so they will show up in CAM. Also, if
    there is a 000 sub account, but more than one sub account for the
    MU, the 000 will show up in tabbed format.

-   Fixed error that was generated when using Account Rights.

-   Added hourglass in various areas of slow processing.

-   Changed the user defaults form to widen and lengthen Additional
    Agency Location fields.

Have you been aware of the jobless rates???????  Outsourcing is bad
enough but to allow these students to stay for 2 1/2 years to take the\

Dear Mr. Chairman:

WASTE TREATMENT AND IMMOBILIZATION PLANT (WTP) LOW ACTIVITY WASTE (LAW)
STRUCTURAL REPORT

References: 1. DNFSB letter from J. T. Conway to J. H. Roberson, HQ,
dated November 14, 2002.

2.  ORP letter from R. J. Schepens to J. T. Conway, DNFSB, "Waste
    Treatment and Immobilization Plant (WTP) Summary Structural Report
    (SSR)," 04-WED-018, dated July 9, 2004.

By Reference 1, you asked the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of River
Protection (ORP) to develop a "load path report" for the three major WTP
process facilities. In Reference 2 we provided you with our outline and
schedule for completion of the high level waste (HLW) summary structural
report (SSR), the pretreatment (PT) SSR, and an abbreviated structural
report for low activity waste (LAW) developed by the ORP peer review
team (PRT).

We are pleased to attach for your use, three copies of Revision 0 of the
LAW structural report.

The basis for this report is an extensive review and evaluation of
Bechtel National, Inc. (BNI) drawings and calculations by the ORP PRT
together with draft BNI load path evaluations of the LAW structure. From
these materials, the PRT was able to develop an understanding of the
structural behavior of LAW when subjected to seismic loads. The PRT has
found, in general, that the structure behaves predictably and that the
design has been competently prepared, with one significant exception, in
accordance with criteria and applicable codes. The one exception, which
is discussed in the report, is that loads in seismic collectors were not
amplified by the omega factor as prescribed by the Uniform Building
Code, which is the governing code for performance category 2 structures.
BNI is responding quickly to this issue and has initiated design effort
this week to add additional collector steel where required and to
evaluate alternative load paths for portions of the slab at Elevation 3
ft. that have already been constructed.

The report does list other open issues regarding LAW that will be
tracked to closure by the PRT. However, it is believed that sufficient
information is available to provide this report to you at this time
which should fulfill the need for a LAW SSR.

If you have any questions, please contact me, or your staff may call
John S. Treadwell, WTP Engineering Division, (509) 373-6355.

Sincerely,

***Roy J. Schepens***

Leavenworth Veterans Affairs Medical Center Rightsizing and Enhanced Use
Leasing Historic Redevelopment

Department of Veterans Affairs

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Heartland Network and Eastern
Kansas Health Care System have developed a unique EUL project at the
Leavenworth, KS, campus that will rehabilitate thirty-seven, 1800\'s
vintage historic buildings through leasing underutilized assets for up
to 75 years.

This mixed-use redevelopment avoids the demolition of one of the ten
most endangered sites in the nation, according to the National Trust for
Historic Preservation. The Leavenworth campus was constructed in 1885
following the Civil War as the Western Branch of the National Home for
Disabled Volunteer Soldiers. The campus included barracks, mess hall,
staff housing, chapel, library, hospital, amusement halls, shops,
laundry, stable, greenhouses, and other facilities. The campus was
designated on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.

The success of this project is attributed to financial viability
accomplished through the mixed adaptive re-use, which includes an
assisted living facility, housing, small business offices, artistic
venues, academic classrooms and homeless veterans transitional housing.
A private developer has invested \$70 million towards the project, which
also includes an expansion of the Leavenworth National Cemetery. As a
result of this initiative, the VA will achieve a cost savings of
\$800,000 per year in for maintenance of vacant buildings and land.
