Hi All,

We can discuss our suggested list of items to cover in the RIA today if
you would like.

I am heading home early but can call from there between 3:30 and 4:30 pm
if you send us a call in number (preferably an 866 number).

(Please send time and call in to my home address above as well, thanks).

We are losing some folks on Friday, so if you prefer we can also set up
a call for Monday if you like.

# FCC TO HOLD TELEPHONE CUSTOMER SERVICE PUBLIC FORUM

In its continuing effort to address consumer concerns, the FCC's
Consumer Information Bureau (CIB) will hold a Telephone Customer Service
Public Forum on Friday, June 9, 2000, from 9:00 am to 12:30 pm. The
forum will unveil the results of a one-month study conducted by the
Commission's Consumer Center analyzing complaints on telephone customer
service operations.

Moderated by Lorraine Miller, CIB's Bureau Chief, consumers and consumer
organizations \-- including WRC-TV's consumer reporter, Liz Crenshaw,
and representatives from the senior, Hispanic and disability communities
\-- will share their customer service experiences, challenging local,
long distance and wireless telephone companies to initiate efforts to
better serve consumers. An open floor discussion will follow these
presentations, providing audience participation.

As more and more companies begin to offer consolidated
telecommunications services, Chairman Kennard cited the forum as "a
timely opportunity to focus on customer service satisfaction."

The forum will be held in the FCC's Commission Meeting Room at 445
12^th^ Street, SW, Washington, DC. It is open to the public and seating
will be available on a first come, first served basis. The event will be
accessible in live video, audio and captioning formats through the FCC's
website at http://www.fcc.gov/realaudio/. A transcript of the forum will
be available 10 business days after the event on the FCC's Internet
site. The URL address for the FCC's Home Page is

**Europa Surface Radiation Environment for Lander Assessment**

*NASA Goddard Space Flight Center*

*U.S.A.*

The Jovian magnetospheric particle environment at Europa's surface is
critical to assessment of landed astrobiological experiments in three
respects: (1) the landing site must be chosen for the best prospects for
detectable organic or inorganic signs of life, e.g. regions of freshly
emergent flows from the subsurface; (2) lander systems must reach the
surface through the Jovian magnetospheric environment and operate long
enough on the surface to return useful data; (3) lander instrumentation
must be capable of detecting signs of life in the context of the local
environmental radiation and associated chemistry. The Galileo, Voyager,
and Pioneer missions have provided a wealth of data on energetic
particle intensities throughout the Jovian magnetosphere including from
many flybys of Europa. Cumulative radiation dosages for spacecraft
enroute to Europa can be well characterized, but knowledge of the
surface radiation environment is very limited. Energetic electrons
should primarily impact the trailing hemisphere with decreasing
intensity towards the center of the leading hemisphere and are the most
significant radiation component down to meter depths in the surface
regolith due to secondary interactions. Observed surface distribution
for sulfates is suggestive of electron irradiation but may have
alternative interpretations. Having much larger magnetic gyroradii than
electrons, energetic protons and heavier ions irradiate more of the
global surface. The particular orientations of electron, proton, and ion
gyromotion would project into corresponding directional (e.g.,
east-west) anisotropies of particle flux into the surface. Particular
topographic features at the landing site may therefore offer shielding
from part of the incident radiation.

THE SECRETARY GENERAL

Ref.: E4/173 29 September 2003

Mr. Jerzy W. Vonau

International Mobile Satellite

Organization (IMSO)

99 City Road

London EC1Y 1AX

United Kingdom

Facsimile: 44 207 728 1172

Dear Mr. Vonau,

I wish to refer you to the letter dated 30 May 2003 from Dr. Ludwig
Weber, Director, Legal Bureau, International Civil Aviation Organization
(ICAO), regarding the Report of the First Session of the Intersessional
Working Group (IWG) of the International Mobile Satellite Organization
(IMSO) Assembly, London, 20-23 January 2003.

Since ICAO had been invited by the IWG to provide its comments on the
proposed amendments to the IMSO Convention, the ICAO Council has given
further consideration to this matter on 19 September 2003, during the
first meeting of its 170^th^ Session. On the basis of Secretariat
analysis, the Council decided that it would not express a position on
the proposed amendments, which is a matter under the jurisdiction of,
and for a decision by, IMSO. The Council nevertheless wished to
re-affirm that in the field of aeronautical communications (including
aeronautical communications by satellite) ICAO, by virtue of the
*Convention on International Civil Aviation* (Chicago, 1944), has
exclusive competence to establish international Standards, Recommended
Practices and Procedures for implementation by its Contracting States,
as recognized in the first Whereas Clause of the *Agreement of
Cooperation* between ICAO and IMSO, signed in Montreal on 20 September
2000.

While the ICAO Council does not express a position on the proposed
amendments to the IMSO Convention, I would nonetheless appreciate being
informed if IMSO decides to proceed therewith. The ICAO Council would
consider any such amendments in a spirit of cooperation so as to
evaluate any need for consequential modifications to the Agreement of
Cooperation between ICAO and IMSO.

Yours sincerely,

Taieb Cherif

Aspects of the Tax System That are Unfair:

\"Progressive\" income taxes on the producer classes,

combined with the entire menu of entitlements for the

dependent classes, are dooming this experiment in liberty.

Politicians and their constituents are turning this greatest

of civilizations into a Marxian nightmare where \"from each according to
his ability\" is forced to pay \"each according to his needs.\" It is
beyond unfair-it is morally corrosive. \"Progressive\" is double-speak
for social malignancy.

Examples of How the Tax Code Distorts Personal Decisions:

Income and payroll taxes impose huge costs on hiring,

working and saving. These productive behaviors are

suppressed while entitlements encourage sloth,

over-spending, irresponsibility, and dependency. The

talented employer classes waste enormous amounts of time and

effort to comply with taxes and regulations.

High-ability, responsible people have only as many children

as they can afford. Their income taxes are a significant

part of what is perceived to be affordable. Meanwhile, entitlements
enable dependent, low-ability people to have more children than they can
afford. The tax code contributes to the dumbing-down of our people, a
disaster that is building with each generation.

Goals that they Panel Should Try to Achieve

Tax reform must happen along with a simultaneous and serious phase-out
of all entitlements and subsidies. Individuals ought to equally share
the burdens of government. To begin a restoration of liberty and
personal responsibility, tax reform must include the following:

\* Taxes and government spending must be much lower than

today.

\* User fees must replace as many taxes as possible.

\* Do not tax personal or business income, payroll, or

savings.

\* A consumption tax is far less damaging than any income

tax.

\* Enact a small (no more than 10%) tariff on all imported

goods.

Thank you for considering these comments.

American Literature and Popular Narrative: Conflict and Compromise

Inchan Pak (Sookmyung Women\'s University)

Whatever it may suggest, the word \'people\' is very special in the
context of the United of States. It is like a prototype for the US that
professes itself to be a classless and democratic nation. Whether the
\'people\' is related to mass, crowd, oppressed people, the people of
nation-state, or citizens, it is almost impossible to think of the US
without popular culture. Meanwhile, it is also impossible to think of
popular culture without relating it to the capitalist economy of the US.
It is as if popular culture in the US were driving on the two parallel
wheels of democracy and capitalism.

Despite this significance, however, popular culture has not been given
serious concern within the institution of American literary study. It is
only recent that popular narrative in the US, a whole body of
expressions made of or by people in the way of diverse media and forms,
has begun to attract attention. But American literature has been
consistently passing through the conflict and compromise between
mainstream or serious literature and popular literature. The twentieth
century American literature has developed within such contacts from
modernism through counterculture and postmodernism towards the recent
new media age, while popular literature itself has been evolving in such
process. Therefore, it will be significant to trace up the interactions
between high literature and popular literature as well as the history
and streams of American popular narrative.

Hon. Michael Burgess

United State House of Representatives

1224 Longworth House Office Bldg.

Washington, DC 20515

Dear Representative Burgess:

The National Biodiesel Board (NBB) thanks you for introducing H.R. 2454
to include B20 biodiesel blends as an alternative fuel for corporate
average fuel economy (CAFE) purposes.

Biodiesel is being used across the spectrum of diesel engine
applications including agricultural and construction equipment; the
trucking industry; stationary generators; home and commercial heating
applications; as well as passenger vehicles. The inclusion of B20 in the
CAFE program, as proposed in H.R. 2454, will encourage further use of
biodiesel. Biodiesel is a clean burning, domestically produced renewable
fuel, and expanding its use will have multiple energy security, economic
development, and environmental benefits.

Additionally, the further introduction of clean, light-duty diesel
vehicles into the U.S. market will further enhance fuel efficiency and
promote conservation without sacrificing air quality. H.R. 2454 provides
a market based approach to help further this worthwhile goal.

Again, we appreciate your introduction of H.R. 2454.

Sincerely,

![](media/image2.png){width="2.4965277777777777in"

Tsunamis and Native American Legends

The Quinault Indian Tribe of Washington was the first Native American
community in the country to receive a "TsunamiReady" designation on May
30, 2002. The Quinaults will be able to set a standard for other tribes
to establish infrastructure and systems to save lives and protect
property. This is a very important step since earthquake dangers exist
in the Pacific Northwest.

In the past century, tsunamis have damaged the Pacific Northwest
coastline (Northern California, Oregon and Washington). When a magnitude
9.0 earthquake occurred January 26, 1700, tribal coastal communities
were probably destroyed by these large ocean waves. The area in which
the oceanic tectonic plate (Juan de Fuca) is pulled or driven beneath a
continental plate (North American) is called the Cascadia Subduction
Zone. A major CSZ earthquake and subsequent tsunami would have reached
the shore in less than 30 minutes.

Ruth S. Ludwin, University of Washington, Pacific Northwest Seismograph
Network (PNSN) has researched Native American stories along the coast of
Cascadia from the Yurok territory in northern California to
Kwakwaka'wakw tribal lands at the northern end of Vancouver Island.
These subduction zone events are represented in the oral literature of
the Pacific Northwest Indians.

The battle between the Thunderbird (wind) and Whale (water) are
referenced in connection with the shaking and flooding all along the
Cascadia coast. Thunderbird holding a whale is a prominent theme in
Native American art as well.

**NOTICE OF UNLICENSED OPERATION**

Case Number: EB-08-NY-0218

Document Number: W200832380056

The New York Office received information that an unlicensed broadcast
radio station on 90.9 MHz was allegedly operating in Brooklyn, NY. On
May 31 and June 6, 2008, agents from this office confirmed by direction
finding techniques that a radio transmitter operating on the frequency
90.9 MHz was located at your residence located at 1798 Bedford Avenue,
Apartment \# B11, Brooklyn, NY 11225. The Commission's records show that
no license was issued for operation of a broadcast station at this
location on 90.9 MHz in Brooklyn, NY.

Radio stations must be licensed by the FCC pursuant to 47 U.S.C. § 301.
The only exception to this licensing requirement is for certain
transmitters using or operating at a power level that complies with the
standards established in Part 15 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.
§§  15.1 *et seq*. Your operation on frequency 90.9 MHz was measured at
7,559 microvolts per meter (µV/m) at 748 meters. This exceeds the
allowable unlicensed limit of 250 µV/m at 3 meters established in Part
15. Thus, this station is operating in violation of 47 U.S.C. § 301.

You are hereby warned that operation of radio transmitting equipment
without a valid radio station authorization constitutes a violation of
the Federal laws cited above and could subject the owner of this illegal
operation to severe penalties, including, but not limited to,
substantial monetary fines, *in rem* arrest action against the offending
radio equipment, and criminal sanctions including imprisonment. (*see*
47 U.S.C. §§ 401, 501, 503 and 510).

**UNLICENSED OPERATION OF THIS RADIO STATION MUST BE DISCONTINUED
IMMEDIATELY**.

You have ten (10) days from the date of this notice to respond with any
evidence that you have authority to operate granted by the FCC. Your
response should be sent to the address in the letterhead and reference
the listed case and document number. Under the Privacy Act of 1974, 5
U.S.C. § 552a(e)(3), we are informing you that the Commission's staff

reply.

Excerpts from the Communications Act of 1934, As Amended

Enforcement Bureau, \"Inspection Fact Sheet\", July 2003
SUPPORT THE SYRIA ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 2002

Dear Colleague:

We write to urge you to cosponsor H.R. 4483, the Syria Accountability
Act of 2002. Successive administrations have tried to engage Syria
through diplomacy and a variety of carrots and sticks, and have been
largely unsuccessful. Our legislation provides new tools to hold Syria
accountable for its destabilizing policies.

We agree with the President\'s comments from September 20, 2002, \"every
nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. . .either you are
with us or you are with the terrorists.\" As you are likely aware,
numerous terrorist groups, including Hizballah and Hamas, maintain
offices or training camps in Syria or areas of Syrian-occupied Lebanon.
Syria, which sits prominently on the State Department's terrorism list,
is in clear violation of UN Security Council Resolution 1373 which
directs all states to \"refrain from providing any form of support\" for
terrorists. And, just as the Israeli - Palestinian situation was
reaching a crisis, Syria unleashed Hizballah and other groups to attack
Israeli troops and Israeli civilians in northern Israel.

Not only does Syria undermine regional stability by harboring terrorist
groups. Its 25,000-strong occupation force has denied Lebanon its
internationally-guaranteed sovereignty and political independence. As
called for in UN Security Council Resolution 520, it is time that
Lebanon is run by the Lebanese, not the Assad regime in Damascus.

We are also deeply concerned about Syrian efforts to field chemical and
biological weapons and its development of longer range ballistic
missiles. As President Bush affirmed in his State of the Union address
earlier this year, America must strive "to deny terrorists and their
state sponsors the materials, technology, and expertise to make and
deliver weapons of mass destruction.\"

Finally, UN oil sanctions on Iraq were designed to ensure that the
proceeds of Iraqi oil sales will not be used to enrich Saddam Hussein's
regime, but will be used to help the Iraqi people. By permitting illegal
transshipments of Iraqi oil through Syria, Damascus is providing hard
currency flow for Saddam's coffers, giving him the means to perpetuate
his rule.

Our legislation, the Syria Accountability Act of 2002, imposes a variety
of penalties upon Damascus until Syria ends support for terrorism,
withdraws from Lebanon, stops developing weapons of mass destruction,
and halts violations of the UN oil sanctions against Iraq. It is time to
send a message to Damascus that the time has come for Syria to rejoin
the family of responsible nations.

If you would like to cosponsor H.R. 4483, please have your staff contact
Lisa Vogt with Mr. Armey\'s office at x57772 or Jason Steinbaum with
Rep. Engel at x52464.

Sincerely,

Dick Armey Eliot L. Engel

# Civil War Soldiers to be Buried in Massachusetts National Cemetery

WASHINGTON -- One hundred and forty-five years after their deaths on a
battlefield in northern Virginia, six Union soldiers from the Civil War
are returning home to Massachusetts. They were buried with full military
honors on June 10 at the Massachusetts National Cemetery in Bourne.

"These soldiers made the ultimate sacrifice for the preservation of our
nation," said the Honorable R. James Nicholson, Secretary of Veterans
Affairs. "We don't know their names. We cannot locate their families.
But we are honored to provide a lasting tribute to their service on the
hallowed grounds of a national cemetery."

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) buried the remains in a VA-run
cemetery, which is maintained in perpetuity as "a national shrine," five
weeks shy of the 145^th^ anniversary of their deaths on July 18, 1861,
the eve of the first battle of Manassas.

VA and the Massachusetts Sons of Union Veterans planned a burial
ceremony June 10 at 11:00 a.m. at the Massachusetts National Cemetery in
Bourne, Mass. The ceremony included Civil War re-enactors and full
military honors.

> The remains were discovered in 1997 on a construction site in
> Centreville, Va. Scientists from the Smithsonian Institute identified
> the remains as soldiers of the 1^st^ Massachusetts infantry who were
> killed during a skirmish known as Blackburn's Ford. Scientists were
> unable to establish the identities of the soldiers.
>
> The Massachusetts Sons of Union Soldiers, working with Fairfax County,
> Va., which had legal custody of the remains, arranged for the transfer
> to their home state. Like other veterans of the armed forces, the
> Civil War soldiers are eligible for burial in a VA-maintained national
> cemetery.
>
> **Civil War 2/2/2/2**
>
> Veterans with a discharge other than dishonorable, their spouses and
> eligible dependent children can be buried in a national cemetery.
> Other burial benefits available for all eligible veterans, regardless
> of whether they are buried in a national cemetery or a private
> cemetery, include a burial flag, a Presidential Memorial Certificate
> and a government headstone or marker.
>
> In the midst of the largest cemetery expansion since the Civil War, VA
> operates 123 national cemeteries in 39 states and Puerto Rico, and 33
> soldiers\' lots and monument sites. More than three million Americans,
> including veterans of every war and conflict --- from the
> Revolutionary War to the current war against terrorism --- are buried
> in VA's national cemeteries on more than 16,000 acres of land.
>
> Information on VA burial benefits can be obtained from national
> cemetery offices, from the Internet at
> [http://www.cem.va.gov ]{.underline}or by calling VA regional offices
> toll-free at
