# ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW Congressman Lee Terry

As violence in Israel continues to escalate, it becomes increasingly
clear that U.S. involvement is necessary to broker a peaceful agreement
between Israel and Palestinians. The long history of UN resolutions,
peace proposals, summits, dialogs, and threats has not prevented
bloodshed in Israel.

For our part as Americans, Israel has our unwavering support as it
conducts its own campaign against terror. When the peace process does
eventually begin, America must help forge an agreement even more
comprehensive and enduring than the Camp David Accord and the Oslo Peace
Process.

It has now been a little more than eight years since then-Prime Minister
Yitzhak Rabin and Palestinian Chairman Yasir Arafat shook hands for the
first time on the White House lawn. So began the Oslo Peace Process, and
Israel and the Palestinians pledged to resolve their differences through
a process of negotiations. Israel agreed to a gradual withdrawal from
the areas of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, and the Palestinians
agreed to take specific steps to maintain control over those areas. In
the last eight years, the Palestinians were allowed to form a ruling
body called the Palestinian Authority that was eventually granted
control over 40 percent of the land (and 98 percent of the population)
in the West Bank and Gaza.

Israel is giving Arafat every opportunity to choose the path to peace.
Unfortunately, Arafat is the stumbling-block on the road to resolution
of the Middle East conflict.

Despite Arafat's pledges to outlaw terrorist groups and confiscate
illegal weapons, he has invited terrorist groups into a unified
government and engaged in operations designed to smuggle weapons into
the West Bank and Gaza. In fact, when Israeli troops stormed Arafat's
compound in Ramallah last week, they found large caches of arms. Late
last year, Israel seized a shipment of 50 tons of Iranian manufactured
arms and munitions -- including rockets, anti-tank missiles, mortars,
mines, sniper rifles, and advanced explosives -- from the Karine A, a
vessel owned by the Palestinian Authority. Palestinians maintain more
than two dozen tunnels beneath the Egyptian-Palestinian border. It is
likely that any available weapon that can fit through one of these
tunnels has been smuggled into Palestinian territory. Regardless of his
public admonitions of violence, Arafat's covert operations and his
refusal to call for a halt to suicide bombings prove that he is NOT a
friend of the peace process.

Instead of leading the Palestinians to a peaceful resolution and
denouncing suicide bombings that target innocent Israeli civilians,
Arafat has chosen to cover the Palestinian Authority's involvement in
this violence with a smooth public relations campaign. Rather than
renounce violent Palestinian attacks and begin negotiations, he asks to
be martyred at the hands of the Israelis: the least constructive
solution of all.

As the world's lone superpower, America is in a unique position to
facilitate a lasting peace in the Mid-East. It is yet another role
America will play in the worldwide war on terror.

Ms Magalie Salas, Secretary

The Federal Communications Commission

445 12^th^ Street, SW

Washington, DC 20554

Dear Ms. Salas:

This letter is to submit my comments IN OPPOSITION TO PETITIONERS FOR
RECONSIDERATION OF THE REPORTED ORDER ON VIDEO DESCRIPTION, DOCKET
NUMBER 99-339. I commend the commissioners of the FCC for their
courageous vote requiring the television networks to begin providing
this essential descriptive video information service to people who are
blind and visually impaired, beginning in April of 2002. It has come to
my attention, however, that this ruling by the FCC on July 21st, 2000 is
being petitioned for reconsideration. I am adamantly opposed to these
petitions. It is imperative that this ruling be implemented in its
original form.

As a visually impaired person with many blind and visually impaired
clients, I know first hand how important it is for anyone who cannot see
a television to have an alternate means such as video description in
order to know what is happening on the screen. It has been a long
standing source of frustration for literally thousands of us with vision
problems to be constantly deprived of access to the same televised
information as sighted people have. Many of us have been eagerly looking
forward to the day in April of 2002 when we can turn on our television
sets and be able to understand for the first time the visual aspects of
the programming.

In closing, I wish to point out that the petitioners have not provided
any new information that was not already known at the time the FCC
reached its decision and issued the ruling. In view of this, I urge you
to take the necessary steps to ensure that this important ruling, which
will provide essential video description of television programs to blind
and visually impaired viewers, will stand firm and continue forward.

Respectfully yours,

Jerry R. Baker, Consultant

Don't Let this Sunset Fall on America

MAKE THE DEATH TAX REPEAL PERMANENT

SAVE SMALL BUSINESSES

PRESERVE OPEN SPACES

Dear Colleague:

I hope that you will join me when I introduce legislation on Tuesday,
June 12, to make the repeal of the death tax permanent. Americans should
have a right to know now that this tax relief is permanent. They need to
make decisions and plan for the future. Only by enacting legislation to
ensure the permanence of the death tax repeal can they make such
decisions.

We owe it to working Americans who have built up family owned small
businesses and family farms. The repeal of the Death Tax has enjoyed the
broadest of bipartisan support.

The death tax unfairly forces many working families to sell the family
businesses or a family farm just to pay the exorbitant taxes.

The death tax is a great burden to small business owners, including many
first generation minority-owned and women-owned businesses. Small
business owners have spent years building up family businesses in the
hopes of passing them down to their children. The death tax kills these
dreams and forces these families to completely start over.

Making the death tax relief permanent will help us ensure that open
spaces can be preserved for future generations. Without this permanent
protection for death taxes, open spaces that are increasingly encroached
on by development will have to be sold just to pay the taxes. Permanent
repeal of the death tax means these lands can be preserved as open
spaces and agricultural lands for generations to come.

It is estimated that more than 70 percent of small businesses do not
survive the second generation and 87 percent do not make it to the third
generation. The death tax is a major factor in killing these businesses
and the jobs they have created.

I hope you will join me by cosponsoring legislation I plan to introduce
on Tuesday, June 12, which would make the Death Tax repeal provisions in
the recently enacted tax relief act permanent. Should you have any
questions or wish to cosponsor, please let me know or contact Stuart
Burns in my office at x53671. A copy of the bill is on the reverse side.

Deadline to be an Original Cosponsor is

Tuesday, June 12th at 2 PM

### FCC Denies Complaint Alleging Improper Marketing by Bell Atlantic in the New York Long Distance Market 

Washington, D.C. -- Today the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
denied a complaint brought by AT&T Corp. alleging that New York
Telephone Company, d/b/a Bell Atlantic -- New York (Bell Atlantic)
improperly markets the services of its long distance affiliate by
failing to inform inbound callers of their full range of long distance
choices, and by using its knowledge of the identity of those callers'
existing long distance carrier. AT&T's complaint was the first formal
complaint brought against Bell Atlantic at the FCC relating to the
company's long distance offerings in the State of New York. Bell
Atlantic began offering long distance service to New York customers in
January 2000 after obtaining FCC authorization to offer such service in
December 1999.

AT&T's complaint challenged the manner in which Bell Atlantic promotes
the services of its long distance affiliate, Bell Atlantic
Communications, Inc. (BACI), when existing Bell Atlantic customers call
the local phone company to request an additional telephone line. AT&T
argued that in those situations, Bell Atlantic must first inform the
customer that he or she has a choice of long distance carriers and then
must offer to read the customer a list of long distance carriers, before
promoting BACI's long distance service. AT&T also argued that Bell
Atlantic may not use its knowledge of the identity of the customer's
existing long distance carrier when it promotes BACI's service.

Although the Commission rejected AT&T's claims, it stated that Bell
Atlantic is required to inform inbound callers of their long distance
choices if the caller has not previously received service from Bell
Atlantic or has moved to a different address within the State.
Accordingly, the Commission's ruling is limited to the specific facts
set forth in AT&T's complaint, which relate only to existing Bell
Atlantic customers making inbound calls who were not requesting
first-time local service at their address.

# PIPELINE

## PRACTICE INTRODUCTION

**USDA, Natural Resources Conservation Service---Practice Code 516**

![](media/image1.png){width="5.979861111111111in"
height="4.120138888888889in"}

### PIPELINE

The pipeline practice is used when a pipeline is needed to convey water
for livestock, recreation or wildlife.

### PRACTICE INFORMATION

The purpose of this practice is simply to convey water from the source
of supply to the point(s) of use. The objective is usually to
decentralize the location of drinking or water storage facilities. The
practice is applicable where water needs to be piped to another
location(s) for management purposes, to conserve the supply, or for
reasons of sanitation.

Pipelines installed under this practice are generally for livestock
management purposes. A single water source can provide livestock water
to several locations and be very effective in improving management of a
grazing unit.

Pipelines are also used on recreation and wildlife lands to provide or
distribute drinking water facilities for humans as well as wildlife.

### COMMON ASSOCIATED PRACTICES

Secretary of Agriculture

Washington, D.C.

Subject: Docket No. APHIS-2008-0094

Dear Mr. Vilsack,

I have also sent this note to Mr. Michael Gregoire at APHIS.

I am writing in regard to Docket No. APHIS-2008-0094, Pioneer Hi-Bred
International, Inc.; Availability of Petition and Environmental
Assessment for Determination of Nonregulated Status for Corn Genetically
Engineered for Tolerance to Glyphosate andAcetolactate
Synthase-Inhibiting Herbicides. I oppose the deregulation of Event 98140
corn due to the risks this crop poses to human and animal health, the
environment, and farmers.

Pioneer\'s Event 98140 is designed to deal with the problems of weed
resistance in the first generation of GE herbicide-tolerant crops, but
may very well make matters worse. Relying almost solely on glyphosate
has fostered an epidemic of glyphosate-resistant weeds that is
considered a major threat to American agriculture by leading
agronomists. Past use of ALS inhibitors has generated massive weed
resistance to this class of herbicides as well. In fact, an estimated 14
million acres of prime U.S. farmland are infested with one or more of 40
different species of weeds resistant to one or both of these herbicides.
Introduction of Pioneer\'s dual-HT corn will increase use of both
glyphosate and ALS inhibitors, and likely exacerbate weed resistance to
both. Increased weed resistance will in turn lead to greater use of
still other toxic chemical weedkillers.

DuPont-Pioneer\'s GE corn also raises several food safety concerns. The
\"glyphosate acetyltransferase\" (GAT ) enzyme that makes Pioneer\'s
corn tolerant to glyphosate also generates substantial levels of a
number of poorly characterized compounds that are absent or found only
at extremely low levels in most foods. These acetylated amino acids have
not been adequately assessed for potential adverse health impacts on
humans or animals. As part of its environmental analysis APHIS must
consider \"the degree to which the proposed action affects public health
or safety.\" APHIS has ignored this obligation. DuPont-Pioneer has also
failed to conduct long-term animal feed studies with this corn. A recent
Austrian government study found reduced fertility in mice fed a
different variety of GE corn, reinforcing the need to conduct feeding
studies for all GE crops for reproductive and other harmful effects.

Given the environmental and potential human health hazards posed by this
new GE corn, I oppose its deregulation unless, and until, APHIS prepares
and publishes a thorough Environme ntal Impact Statement that adequately
addresses these concerns. Additionally, APHIS should extend this public
comment period so that all interested parties can thoroughly review the
materials and offer informed comment.

Sincerely,

Peter Myers

**Comment identifier: Attn. 1024-AD70.**

I am writing in **[support]{.underline}** of Honorable Dirk Kempthorn's
April 30, 2008, proposed exemption to current Federal regulations 36 CFR
2.4 and 50 CFR 27.42, that would allow concealed firearms permit holders
to carry their weapons in National Parks and National Wildlife Refuges
in accordance with State laws in the surrounding area.

 

This is a needed regulatory change that will allow holders of valid
concealed carry weapons permits (CCW) to exercise their constitutional
rights to carry concealed firearms for all lawful purposes on these
federal lands. Abundant statistical analysis of the habits of CCW
holders indicates that as a sub-group of the population, we are among
the most law-abiding citizens of the United States (about 100 times more
law-abiding than the general population). Permit holders in most states
have undergone FBI background checks, been fingerprinted, taken training
in the use of deadly force (usually from police officers), and
demonstrated safe gun-handling and shooting skills to obtain their
permits.

 

As retired professionals, my wife and I travel extensively in the lower
48, often to view the beauties of our National Parks. I am currently
licensed to carry a concealed handgun in 38 states, but of course, not
in the National Parks where we spend considerable time. Please rectify
this situation. Violent crime occurs in the National Parks just as it
does in all parts of our country. Let those of us licensed to carry in
defense of ourselves and loved ones exercise that constitutional right
in our National Parks. Thank you.

 

Sincerely,
