Subject: Unequal tax treatment

Dear Panel,

I\'d like to know why, as a Gay American, I am treated differently from
my

straight neighbors? Special tax breaks and privileges are granted to
those

who are given the opportunity to marry. Since I am gay, I am not given
that same opportunity. Therefore, I am treated differently simply
because of how

I was born.

The Federal Government gives me two options\.....#1. I could simply
marry a woman for tax purposes OR #2. I can simply accept that I\'m
treated unequally in our society and not given the same special tax
breaks that straight

Americans are given. I find neither acceptable or American.

Sincerely,

Ron Ausemus

I strongly oppose the Hague Convention. I have three wonderful
grandchildren through international adoption and hope to have more. I
fear that the Hauge will cause the fees to be raised to astronomical
numbers, preventing my son from adopting again. I believe that the Hauge
puts unrealistic financail regulations on adoption agencies. And I think
it is terrible that so many babies will be stuck in orphangages due to
unrealistic regulations! Please reconsider the Hauge so that more babies
will join their deserving and loving families!

OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY

FOR HOUSING-FEDERAL HOUSING COMMISSIONER

MORTGAGEE LETTER 98- 17

TO: ALL APPROVED MORTGAGEES

**SUBJECT**: Single Family Loan Production - Insurance of Adjustable.
Rate

Mortgages on Single Family Properties, Section 251 of the National

Housing Act

This Mortgagee Letter is to advise you that the Department will insure
any

Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMS) provided the following conditions are
met:

1\. the mortgage credit application was signed prior to April 3, 1998,

2\. the mortgage closing date is prior to May 1, 1998, and

3\. all other FHA requirements are met.

This action is due to the limitation set by Section 251 (c) of the
National Housing Act (Act) on the number of ARM mortgage and loans that
can be insured in any fiscal year. (Date of closing is defined as the
settlement date as it appears in the HUD-1 Settlement Statement. See HUD
Handbook 4000.2 REV-2, paragraph 5- 1C.) The mortgage credit application
is defined as the Uniform Residential Loan Application (Freddie Mac Form
65 or Fannie Mae Form 1003) and the Addendum to Uniform Residential Loan
Application, Form HUD 92900-A), pages 1 through 4.

In accordance with Section 251 (c), HUD can insure ARMs in an amount
that does not exceed 30 percent of the total number of mortgages and
loans insured under Title 11 of the Act during the previous fiscal year.
For fiscal year 1997, HUD endorsed 790,359 mortgages. Consequently, HUD
can insure 237,107 ARMs for fiscal year 1998. As of March 15, 1998, the
Department had endorsed approximately 71 percent of our total allowable
number of ARMS. Since Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECM) are not
subject to the Section 251 (c) ceiling, the Department will continue to
insure

HECM ARMs throughout fiscal year 1998.

If an ARM is submitted to HUD for insurance with a closing date on or
after

May 1, 1998 or the mortgage credit application was signed on or after
April 3, 1998, the Homeownership Centers (HOCS) and Field Offices (FOs)
will return the case binder to the originating lender. HUD will not
store or hold case binders. The Department intends

2

to resume accepting and insuring ARMs on October 1, 1998. Lenders need
to be advised that they will have to follow all of the procedures for a
\"late request for insurance\" as set forth in Chapter 3 of HUD Handbook
4165.1 REV-1 if the mortgage has been closed for more than 60 days when
received by HUD.

All questions relating to the FHA aspects of these loans should be
addressed to your HOC.

Sincerely yours,

Art Agnos

Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change.
The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are
provided on World Wide Web at http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/.

Tariff number 4202.92.3031 falls within textile category designation
670. Quota and visa status are the result of international agreements
that are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes. To obtain the
most current information as to whether quota and visa requirements apply

information on textile import quotas, textile safeguard actions and
related issues at the web site of the Office of Textiles and Apparel, at
otexa.ita.doc.gov.

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

9.75\" x 14.75\" in size. On the top of the item, there are two coin
chutes on opposite ends. When a coin is placed on the chute, it travels
down the funnel and spirals around and around, making a distinct sound,
until it drops into the base of the product. There is a rubber plug on
the base which can be removed in order to extract the coins.

The features and appearance of the article under consideration identify
it as a toy bank for tariff purposes. The applicable subheading for the
Twister Savings Bank will be 9503.00.0080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of

WATER CONSERVATION TRAINING MANUAL

Provide a training manual for water districts, cities, communities and
water retailers to teach full time professionals; seasonal staff; and
homeowners the current techniques of watering turf landscapes
efficiently. The purpose of the manual is to support Reclamation\'s
water districts in achieving their conservation goals in the urban
environment.

Reclamation will own all rights to the manual for printing and
distribution through all media sources.

The manual must be universal in its approach so that it can be used
throughout the United States.

The manual should cover the following:

1.  Background discussion of the problem of over irrigation in turf
    landscapes and how much water is wasted. Provide examples of how and
    why over watering occurs.

2.  Section on how to evaluate a sprinkler or sprinkler system. Provide
    a sample form for this computation and evaluation that can be used
    by trained staff to do water checks for homeowners and businesses to
    improve their irrigation practices. This section should be detailed
    but utilize simple techniques to keep costs low. This section should
    also show graphic examples of poor, fair and good water applications
    from sprinklers to further illustrate the importance of applying
    water evenly to turf landscapes.

3.  Discuss ways and give examples of how businesses and homeowners can
    improve poor irrigation systems to achieve a more uniform and
    efficient system. It is important to provide non-mathematical
    techniques that could be used by homeowners to improve a system.

4.  Provide techniques for controlling runoff from irrigation of a
    landscape.

5.  Section on how to determine the amount of water to apply at each
    irrigation application to be sure the soil is filled. A discussion
    of soil water holding capacity, soil infiltration rates and root
    depths should be a part of this discussion. Provide simple
    techniques for determining soil type.

6.  Explain how it is important to change the intervals between
    irrigations throughout a season to meet the plant water needs. Give
    examples of how this may look and sources for this information.

Deliverables:

1.  Manual in .pdf format on a disc.

2.  Manual in a word processing file (Word, WordPerfect, etc.)

**BIG MONEY: OLD DOG, NEW TRICKS**

**Fight Back with H.R. 1316**

Dear Republican Colleague:

While the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002 (BCRA) sought to remove
big money from American politics, the 2004 election cycle demonstrated
that *where there's a will, there's a way*. As soon as the BCRA shut one
door to big money, 527 organizations opened another. Exempt from the
BCRA's soft money contribution ban, 527s became the perfect channel for
unregulated, unlimited contributions. *Big money was back:*

-   **527s raised nearly \$600 million in soft money (up from only \$71
    million in 2000). This represents far more money raised than the
    RNC, NRCC, or NRSC.**

-   **MoveOn.org alone raised and spent more money on its advertisements
    and grass roots efforts than the entire budget of the NRSC.**

-   **Liberal activist George Soros single handedly contributed \$27
    million to 527s.**

-   **The top ten individual donors to 527s collectively contributed
    \$119 million, a dramatic \$100 million increase from 2002 top ten
    contributions.**

\* Source: Political Money Line.

As an unintentional consequence of the BCRA, soft money has flooded into
527s. This shift from broad based parties to single-issue 527s puts our
political system at risk. 527s, unaccountable to voters, are making
politics less civil and less responsible.

**I urge you to support H.R. 1316, the 527 Fairness Act of 2005. This
legislation would help other political players offset the undue role of
527 organizations.** H.R. 1316 restores and strengthens the role of
political parties; puts grassroots, labor unions, and trade associations
on a level field with 527s; and encourages contributions to Federal
PACs. I firmly believe that these measures effectively will restore
balance to our political system without jeopardizing 527s or the
original intentions of the BCRA. I hope that you will join me in
supporting this very important legislation.

Sincerely,

Pete Sessions

Member of Congress (R-TX)

History of the unit

-   *Elwood Mead* -- In 1883, Elwood Mead came to Colorado Ag College to
    teach. He saw a need for research and education in irrigation. He
    studied why infrastructure worked or failed, and also the "duty of
    water", i.e. how much was needed for production. Mead became the
    first irrigation engineer in the US. He later served as the Chief of
    the Division of Irrigation and Drainage investigations, USDA and as
    commissioner of Reclamation. Lake Mead was named for Elwood Mead.

-   *Ralph Parshall* -- Ralph Parshall, the inventor of the Parshall
    Flume, was a student and then faculty member of CAC during the early
    1900's. In 1910, he joined with Victor Cone, to form the USDA's
    Bureau of Public Roads, Irrigation Investigation Unit in Fort
    Collins.

-   *Carl Rohwer* -- Carl Rohwer joined Parshall and Cone in 1914 and
    the team studied evapotranspiration, water flow measurement, water
    well designs, and ditch seepage. They formed the nucleus of a
    continuous chain of USDA scientists that links to the Water
    Management Unit today. Rohwer became the leader of the research
    group until his retirement in 1956.

-   *A.R. "Robby" Robinson* -- Robby Robinson was one of the post WWII
    GI's to use the GI bill to pursue an advanced degree. He accepted a
    joint appointment with the USDA and the experiment station, and
    studied canal seepage and the design of interceptor drains. He took
    over leadership of the unit on Rowher's retirement. He moved to
    Kimberly ID in 1963 to open a new ARS lab there.

-   *Howard Haise* -- In 1944, Howard Haise began his USDA career in
    California studying management of a shrub called Guayule to produce
    economic amounts of rubber for the war effort. Crop water use and
    automated surface irrigation were among Haise's major research
    interests. He transferred to Fort Collins in 1954 and retired as
    Research Leader in 1974.

-   *Dale Heermann* -- Dale Heermann joined ARS in 1968, followed soil
    physicist Arnold Klute as Research Leader of the Water Management
    Unit in 1981 and just recently retired but still serves for the
    unit. Heermann shared Haise's interest in automated irrigation, but
    extended that concept to include modeling the hydraulics and water
    distribution under center pivots and automating them using
    computers. He expanded the Water Management Unit beyond irrigation
    into precision farming, and the group now includes weed science and
    remote sensing.

**Research Area: Computational Materials Science**

Sintering is a process in which particles of a material in powder form
are\
fused together at temperatures below the melting point.  This project
is\
aimed at studying the microstructure evolution during the sintering
process\
of crystalline materials (i.e., powdered metals), and involves the\
development of a three-dimensional phase field model to simulate the\
evolution of the microstructure.  Initial work will involve development
and\
testing of a serial code, and later efforts will be focused on
developing a\
parallel code for improved efficiency.  The phase field model will be
used\
to develop a better understanding of the microstructure evolution
during\
sintering.
