#### VA Approves Grant to Build Northern California Veterans Cemetery

> WASHINGTON \-- The Department of Veterans Affairs has awarded \$8.5
> million to the state of California to establish the Northern
> California Veterans Cemetery near Redding in Shasta County.
>
> "This award, and an increasing number like it for state veterans
> cemeteries, recognize the contributions of America's aging veterans,"
> said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Anthony J. Principi. "I appreciate
> President Bush\'s leadership in supporting state veterans cemeteries."
>
> Approximately 49,000 Northern California veterans, along with their
> dependents, are not now served by a national or state veterans
> cemetery. The new cemetery site is about 170 miles south of the
> nearest national cemetery, Eagle Point National Cemetery, in Oregon.
>
> Plans call for the development of 21.5 acres on the 63-acre site, and
> will include an administration building, maintenance building,
> committal shelter, assembly area, columbarium for cremated remains and
> public information center. Development will provide a total of 8,523
> burial sites, which includes 2,085 traditional in-ground gravesites,
> 2,032 pre-placed graveliners or crypts, 3,206 in-ground cremation
> sites and 1,200 columbarium niches.
>
> As a complement to VA's system of national cemeteries, the State
> Cemetery Grants Program has helped establish, expand or improve 55
> operational state veterans cemeteries. States are responsible for
> operating their veterans cemeteries after VA assists with
> construction. State veterans cemeteries provided more than 18,000
> burials in fiscal year 2003. Since the program began in 1980, VA has
> awarded 136 grants for more than \$200 million to 30 states and Guam.
>
> \- More -
>
> **California State Cemetery Grant 2/2/2/2**
>
> Information about the grants program is available by contacting VA's
> State Cemetery Grants Service at (202) 565-6801. Eligibility for
> burial in the Northern California Veterans Cemetery is based on the
> same criteria as burial in a VA national cemetery. More information
> about the cemetery is available from the California Department of
> Veterans Affairs, Veterans Services Division, on the Internet at
> [http://www.cdva.ca.gov](http://www.cdva.ca.gov/) or by calling
> 1-916-653-2573.
>
> Information on VA burial benefits can be obtained from national
> cemetery offices or VA Web sites on the Internet at
> <http://www.cem.va.gov/>[,]{.underline} or by calling VA regional
> offices toll-free on 1-800-827-1000.

PROPOSED AGENDA

CONFERENCE CALL

SSG-WI PWG MODEL IMPROVEMENT GROUP (MIG)

Monday, April 28, 2003 9:00 am PDT

Conf Call \# 503-813-5600 or 1-800-503-3360

Meeting ID \# 699292

**A) Introductions (5 minutes)**

B\) Model Improvement Group (MIG) - Process Description: (10-15 minutes)
Dean/Marv

1\) Brief description of what MIG is and why it was formed.

2\) How MIG fits into SSG-WI\'s organizational structure and processes.

C\) Open discussion and reach consensus on MIG\'s overall objectives and
products. (30 minutes) Dennis, et al

Strawman:

Phase 1: Identify the key data needed to answer the critical questions
and address the strategic issues facing SSG-WI and its members.

Phase 2: Identify the best modeling methodologies, techniques, and level
of detail needed to produce this data, taking into account cost and
feasibility. .

> Phase 3: Make recommendations to SSG-WI Planning Group

D\) Discuss the time and agenda for next meeting. (10 minutes)

Strawman Agenda for next meeting: Let\'s get our sights set. At our next
meeting members should be prepared to discuss the following questions:

1\) What transmission related questions are we being asked?

2\) What transmission related questions do we wish we could answer?

3\) What specific information would we need to answer these questions?

**Ground-rules:** During the initial phase of our work, let\'s think in
an unconstrained manner. Let\'s assume we have access to unlimited
computer power, unlimited analytical expertise and a \"genie in a
bottle\". Given those assumptions, let\'s get everyone's input on the
following question: What information would you want to know if it was
possible to know it ? At future meetings we can introduce the
realities - with all their nagging limitations.
**[Task Description]{.underline}**

**This individual has focused on the mitochondrial biology that her
laboratory in Berlin has shown to be associated with the development of
hypertension. Her previous visit to the NIH has enabled her to set up a
cell system where she has shown that the genetic knockdown of this
protein does indeed disrupt mitochondrial function.**

**Her visit back in October through December will allow her to complete
this characterization so that we have a more complete understanding how
this protein functions and what role in may play in the development of
high blood pressure.**

**While she was here last time she studied young SHR rats and found
correlations to her work in cell culture. We hypothesize that if she
studied older rats that have more advanced disease these findings will
be more pronounced. We would like to delay this portion of work into the
early new year in 2007, as I need to obtain animal use committee
permission to maintain these rats to age (protocol submitted). Hence the
split visit.**

**We are suggesting that this individual receive \$6000 total for travel
and subsistence. Since she will be here for a total of 3 months, it
would equal out to 3 separate payments of \$2000/month for 3 months.**

**NAVAJO CODE TALKERS TO PARTICIPATE**

**IN INDIAN TELECOM TRAINING INITIATIVE 2001**

Washington, D.C. - The Navajo Code Talkers, recent recipients of the
Congressional Gold Medal for their service to the country during World
War II, will participate in the Indian Telecom Training Initiative
(ITTI) 2001 Annual Conference. The event is scheduled for September
23-26 at the Bally's Hotel in Las Vegas and is cosponsored by the FCC
and the National Exchange Carrier Association.

ITTI's mission is to facilitate the deployment of telecommunication
services -- at reasonable rates -- to all Native American Indians living
in Indian Country by providing educational and networking opportunities
to American Indian Tribal Governments and Tribal telecommunications
industry leaders. Through these seminars as well as a variety of other
proceedings, the FCC is following the mandate of the Telecommunications
Act of 1996, in which Congress directed the FCC to ensure that all
Americans have access to affordable telecommunications services.

The participation of the Code Talkers in this event underscores the
importance of ITTI. Their role in World War II epitomizes the impact of
communications in all facets of daily life and their significant
achievement will be recognized at this conference.

For press information on this event, contact Rosemary Kimball (FCC) at
202-418-0511, Meribeth McCarrick (FCC) at (202) 418-0654 or Dustin Logan
(NECA) at (402) 537-1651.

For ITTI conference information please call Nancy Plon at (202) 418-2899

MODEL LETTER FOR THE\
COMPROMISE OF SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS

Dear \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_:

We are contacting you about a potential problem involving identity
theft.\
\[Describe the information compromise and how you are responding to
it.\]

We recommend that you place a fraud alert on your credit file. A fraud
alert tells creditors to contact you before they open any new accounts
or change your existing accounts. Call any one of the three major credit
bureaus. As soon as one credit bureau confirms your fraud alert, the
others are notified to place fraud alerts. All three credit reports will
be sent to you, free of charge, for your review.

  ---------------------- ---------------------- --------------------------
  Equifax                Experian               TransUnionCorp

  800-525-6285           888-397-3742           800-680-7289
  ---------------------- ---------------------- --------------------------

Even if you do not find any suspicious activity on your initial credit
reports, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recommends that you check
your credit reports periodically. Victim information sometimes is held
for use or shared among a group of thieves at different times. Checking
your credit reports periodically can help you spot problems and address
them quickly.

If you find suspicious activity on your credit reports or have reason to
believe your information is being misused, call \[insert contact
information for law enforcement\] and file a police report. Get a copy
of the report; many creditors want the information it contains to
absolve you of the fraudulent debts. You also should file a complaint
with the FTC at [www.ftc.gov/idtheft](http://www.ftc.gov/idtheft) or at
1-877-ID-THEFT (877-438-4338). Your complaint will be added to the FTC's
Identity Theft Data Clearinghouse, where it will be accessible to law
enforcers for their investigations.

We have enclosed a copy of [*[Take Charge: Fighting Back Against
Identity
Theft]{.underline}*](http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/idtheft/idt04.htm),
a comprehensive guide from the FTC to help you guard against and deal
with identity theft.

**Program to Restore Dignity and Psychological Well-Being of Victims of
Torture**

**Implementing Partners:** Through a cooperative agreement, the United
Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is supporting the work of the
Guatemalan Forensic Anthropology Foundation (FAFG), local NGOs, and the
Ministry of Health

**Funding Period:** January 2001 - January 2004

**Amount:** \$2,326,000

**Purpose:** Dignify the victims of armed conflict and facilitate the
healing process for survivors through the exhumation of clandestine
cemeteries and provision of mental health support.

**Objectives**

-   Complete forensic exhumations and analysis to identify victims and
    enable families to bury the remains of their loved ones in a
    dignified manner.

-   Provide mental health services to conflict survivors.

-   Facilitate the delivery of mental health services from NGOs and the
    Ministry of Health under the National Mental Health Plan.

**Accomplishments**

-   More than 240 clandestine cemeteries or mass graves-far more than
    the original targets-were exhumed in the past three years.

-   In the past two years, more than 5,750 people received mental health
    services.

-   More than 55,000 indirect beneficiaries are living in affected
    communities where services have been provided.

The aftermath of the 36-year armed conflict in Guatemala (1960 to 1996),
considered to have been one of the largest and bloodiest in all of Latin
America, left more than 200,000 people dead or missing, a million
refugees and internally displaced individuals, and thousands of widows
and orphans. The Historical Clarification Commission, a national truth
commission supported by the United Nations, documented 669 massacres,
the vast majority committed by the Guatemalan army in rural Mayan
villages in the northwest highlands. The massacres were part of a
strategy of terror, and those killed were generally buried in mass
graves and clandestine cemeteries without proper burial practices
appropriate to the indigenous culture.

Since 1999, USAID and the Dutch government have been supporting the
efforts of the FAFG and local mental health organizations working with
survivors of the massacres and their families. Despite death threats
received by staff of the FAFG, progress on exhumations has been rapid,
exceeding original projections. Through a program managed by the UNDP,
forensic exhumations identify victims and allow family members and
friends to properly bury loved ones. Mental health experts accompany and
support survivors during and after the trauma of the exhumation process.

By expanding geographic coverage this year, this VTF-supported program
has been able to increase direct assistance to a greater number of
survivors and their families and communities as well as institutionalize
the provision of mental health services.

**STATEMENT OF**

**COMMISSIONER MICHAEL J. COPPS**

 RE: Sunset of the Cellular Radiotelephone Service Analog Service
Requirement and Related Matters, RM No. 11355

 

           In our initial decision to sunset over time the cellular
radiotelephone service analog requirement, I expressed concern about
whether industry would be able to develop digital devices in sufficient
time to enable digital service for individuals with hearing and speech
disabilities (who, at that time, relied exclusively on analog devices). 
As it turned out, carriers, equipment manufacturers, members of the
disability community and the FCC were able to work together to develop
digital equipment solutions, even with some time to spare.  Likewise,
other affected groups, such as the telematics industry, went to great
effort to prepare for the transition, and they now inform the Commission
that they, too, are ready for the transition.  A lot of good work has
been done.  I commend all the parties who came together to work on this.

 

            We ***are*** transitioning to a new digital America.  The
changes and wonders it will usher in are mind-boggling.  But getting
there, and getting there together, takes some special commitment and
some very hard work.  In this instance, we can now work to move the ball
forward. This action permits the wireless industry to redeploy spectrum
from analog to digital use, much to the enhancement of carriers' ability
to provide wireless broadband services.  This change is of particular
importance to rural carriers, for whom the analog requirement is
disproportionately burdensome.

 

            I do wish to comment briefly on the alarm industry's
assertion that---despite more than five years warning---it now requires
additional time to prepare for the transition.  I am aware of the
challenges this industry, like others, confronted.  But I think it is
neither equitable nor necessary to hold up the transition on this
account.  As today's item explains, some of this industry's own data
indicates that there has been sufficient time to replace those alarms
that rely on cellular analog service as a primary means of
communication.  It is an objective that can ***still be accomplished on
time*** if the industry determines that its single-minded focus going
forward should be on replacing radios rather than prolonging a search
for regulatory relief.

 

            My thanks to all who worked so hard, both in the affected
industries and here at the Commission, to get this job done.
Diverticulosis

[What is it?]{.underline}

Diverticulosis is a condition where small pockets form inside the wall
of the large intestine (colon). If these pockets become infected, it can
cause pain. This infection is called diverticulitis. A Doctor can order
a test called colonoscopy or a barium enema to find out if you have
diverticulosis.

[How do they form?]{.underline}

A healthy colon is a flexible tube lined with muscles. These muscles
move stool (waste) through your colon and out of your body. Eating foods
that have fiber and drinking lots of water helps to make stools soft. A
soft stool passes smoothly through your colon. When you do not get
enough fiber and water, the stool becomes harder. Then the muscles in
the colon have to work harder to move the stools through your colon.
This extra pressure can cause the inside of the colon wall to bulge out
and form pockets called diverticulum.

[What are the symptoms?]{.underline}

Some people do not have symptoms. The most common symptoms are:

-   Mild cramping

-   Bloating

-   Constipation

-   Rectal bleeding (any sign of blood in your stool or on the toilet
    paper, maybe just a small amount should be reported to your doctor).

-   If the pockets get infected, symptoms include pain, fever, and
    chills.

[What can I do for diverticulosis?]{.underline}

The two most important things you can do is drink enough water and eat
foods high in fiber. Fiber and water both helps the stool stay soft and
moves smoothly. Exercise also helps to keep the colon muscles moving.
Sometimes your doctor will prescribe a fiber supplement like Metamucil
to help soften stools.

[How much liquid should I drink?]{.underline}

Most people should drink at least 8 cups of fluids each day. Drinking
beverages with bubbles in sodas may cause spasms and pressure in your
colon.

[How much fiber should I eat?]{.underline}

You need 25 to 30 grams of fiber each day to keep your colon working
well. See below for foods that are good sources of fiber.

## 

## Examples of High FIBLER Foods are:

## 

##  Beans Rice

Vegetables Breads

Fruits Noodles

Corn Cereals

#### [Ideas for adding more Vegetable, Fruit, Dry Bean, and Split Peas!]{.underline} 

-   Add more vegetables to spaghetti sauce and less meat

-   Add more vegetables to stews and soups

-   Leave the skin on potatoes when possible

-   Use fresh fruits and vegetables for snacks

-   Add fresh fruits and nuts to salads

-   Rise conned beans with water and add to a salad, dip, or salsa

[Experiment with adding more FIBER to the Foods you already
made.]{.underline}

Try to substitute whole wheat flour in tortillas, pancakes, bread and
other baked goods. For best results use ½ regular white flour and ½
whole wheat flour. For example: If a recipe calls for 2 cups of flour,
you can use 1 cup white flour and 1 cup whole wheat flour.

[Read the Food Labels!]{.underline}

Look for dietary fiber on the food label. It will be right below Total
Carbohydrates. You want to look for the number of fiber grams on the
label. A food that is good in fiber will have 2 grams to 5 grams of
fiber for each serving.

TO: Incentive Awards Board (IAB) Members

FROM: FP/Executive Secretary to the IAB

SUBJECT: NASA Honor Award Nominations Review Process

This is to get your commitment to implement target dates for the Agency
review and approval process this year.

A long-standing issue in the honor awards program is the length of time
required for the Agency's review and approval of the Center's honor
award nominations. The current awards vision statement encourages the
giving of awards without undue delay and in 2003 the Center Directors
identified this issue as a high priority area for improvement. In
response to their concerns, the IAB took the position to use process
control techniques, rather than delegating these awards, to shorten the
review process.

After reviewing Center processes and other streamlining options, we seek
your concurrence to institute a review and approval process this year
that follows the schedule below to include the process control points
highlighted by the bullets.

Nov. 15 Center nominations submitted

Attention: Gwen H.R. Salisbury

RE: The tariff classification of soccer pants from Indonesia.

Dear Ms. Salisbury:

In your letter dated October 22, 1997, you requested a tariff
classification ruling on behalf of Fraje, Ltd.

Representative samples of style #100020, Goalie Short, #100030, Goalie
Pant, and a detailed description and illustration of #996901, Goalie
Knicker, were submitted for our examination. They are loose-fitting
men\'s soccer goalie pants in various lengths, and are made from 80%
polyester/20% cotton knit fabric. Each style features an elastic waist
with a textile cord tie, textile covered foam padding sewn in over the
hip area, and #\'s 100030 and 996901 incorporate that same padding at
the knees. The -length knickers have rib knit leg cuffs and the full
length model features stirrups.

The applicable subheading for style #\'s 100020, 100030, and 996901,
soccer goalie pants, will be 6114.30.3060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States(HTS), which provides for Other garments, knitted or
crocheted: Of man-made fibers: Other\... Other: Men\'s or boys\'\... The
rate of duty will be 15.7 percent ad valorem.

-2-

The pants fall within textile category designation 659. Based upon
international textile trade agreements, products of Indonesia are
subject to visa requirements and quota restraints.

The designated textile and apparel category may be subdivided into
parts. If so, visa and quota requirements applicable to the subject
merchandise may be affected. Since part categories are the result of
international bilateral agreements which are subject to frequent
renegotiations and changes, to obtain the most current information
available, we suggest that you check, close to the time of shipment, the
Status Report On Current Import Quotas (Restraint Levels), an internal
issuance of the U.S. Customs Service, which is available for inspection
at your local Customs Office.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section 177 of the
Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry documents
filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the documents have
been filed without a copy, this ruling should be brought to the
attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.

Sincerely,

Michael D\'Ambrosio

**Johnson introduces \"loser pays\" measure**

**for small-business owners targeted by NLRB**

Yesterday U.S. Congressman Sam Johnson (3rd Dist-Texas) introduced
\"loser pays\" legislation aimed at helping small-business owners when
they win a case against the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).

\"Unjust lawsuits from the National Labor Relations Board can be
economically destructive. This bill will help small-business owners
unfairly charged by the NLRB pick up the pieces and move forward,\" said
Johnson.

Under H.R. 4499, the Working Families Access to Justice Act of 2004, the
bill would award the small-business owner attorney\'s fees and costs in
administrative or court proceedings if the employer prevails in the
case. This legislation applies to employers or labor organizations with
no more than 100 employees and a net worth of no more than \$7 million.

\"Small business owners should be spending their time creating new jobs,
and less on dealing with unending litigation and the escalating
attorney\'s fees that result.\"

The need for the legislation arose at a field hearing in Round Rock,
Texas. During the May hearing, employers discussed how frivolous NLRB
lawsuits caused financial havoc.

U.S. Congressman John Carter (31st - Texas) signed on the Johnson
measure as an original co-sponsor. Carter said, \"This bill will help
the small-business owners defend themselves against unjustified claims
of the NRLB and their deep pockets - another tool of defense for the
small- business owner.\"

Johnson chairs the Employer-Employee Relations Subcommittee on the
Education and the Workforce Committee.

**RE: Classification of Noxtite PA-402 acrylic polymer from Japan**

**Dear Ms. Novak:**

Your letter of May 24, 2000 on behalf of Freundenberg NOK of New Haven
requested a classification ruling for Noxtite PA-402 (CAS-67254-76-6)
described as an ACM (acrylic acid ester rubber) polymer for use in the
manufacture of automotive oil seals.

**The dumbbell samples provided do not meet requirements for synthetic
rubber in Chapter 40 Note 4(a): unsaturated synthetic substances which
can be irreversibly transformed by vulcanization with sulfur into
non-thermoplastic substances which at 18-29^o^C will not break when
extended to three times their original length and will return after
being extended twice their original length, in 5 minutes, to not greater
1-1/2 times their original length.**

**Accordingly, Noxtite PA-402 acrylic polymer is classifiable in
3906.90.2000, HTSUS, which provides for other acrylic plastics in
primary forms. The rate of duty is 6.3 percent ad valorem.**

**This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the
Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).**

**A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be
provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is
