Headaches, unnecessary complexity, and burdens that taxpayers - both
individuals and businesses - face because of the existing system:

The present tax code is a headache. It is far too complex for even the
best IRS agents to understand. And, it is an undue burden on our
citizens to deal with tens of thousands of pages of code that are the
direct result of special interests having tax law written for their
benefit.

Aspects of the tax system that are unfair. Taxing savings. Taxing
earnings on income on which tax has already been paid

Specific examples of how the tax code distorts important business or
personal decisions.: A business return in which the tax payer keeps his
books on an accrual basis and reports on a cash basis. If the business
does not pay its bills it cannot deduct the expenses it has incurred.
This will result in taxable income for which the business must pay
taxes - even when it cannot pay its creditors. This is insane!!!

Goals that the Panel should try to achieve as it evaluates the existing
tax system and recommends options for reform.

Take politics out of the tax system. Implement a tax system that does
not tax investment made to generate jobs and opportunity.

Gentlemen, and gentle women, please study and implement the FAIR TAX.

Respectfully Submitted,

**Operational use of mesoscale models in fire weather forecasting**

Elizabeth Mulvihill Page, NOAA/NWS, Boulder, CO; and M. P. Meyers, M.
Chamberlain, and R. McAnelly

As in most areas of the western United States, fire weather forecasting
in the Rocky Mountains is challenging due to the complex terrain of the
area. Mesoscale numerical models can provide a more detailed
representation of this terrain and therefore guidance that takes into
account the mesoscale forcing mechanisms influencing the weather
conditions. This guidance is especially useful in preparing forecasts
for a specific fire location.

During the fire season of 1999, the National Weather Service (NWS)
Office in Grand Junction, CO began using adapted output from the
Colorado State University (CSU) Regional Atmospheric Modeling System
(RAMS) that provided specific guidance for fire weather forecasting.
Researchers at CSU provided parameters specific to the fire weather
forecasting problem (Haines index, mixing height, transport winds), and
supplied time series plots of weather parameters for fire weather
observing stations. This output gave detailed information to help
forecasters predict the various fire weather parameters and their
trends.

To evaluate the usefulness of this guidance, a verification study was
initiated to compare the guidance from RAMS with the other numerical
guidance available to the NWS offices. Also, field personnel provided
feedback on the usefulness of this more detailed guidance. The results
of this study are presented.

Mayor of \[INSERT CITY NAME\]

\*To calculate your city's savings, follow the simple equations below:

For annual kWh savings, multiply population by each bulb's savings of 53
kWh per year.

Your equation should look like: Population x 53 = \_\_\_\_kWh saved

For annual greenhouse gas emissions reduction savings, multiply the kWh
savings above by 1.54 pounds CO~2~/kWh per year.

Your equation should look like: kWh savings (see above) x 1.54 =
\_\_\_\_\_lbs of CO~2~ emissions

For annual dollar savings, multiply population by \$6 of savings for
each bulb per year.

Your equation should look like: Population x 6 = \$\_\_\_

**Activities**

1)  **Allegory in sculpture, art and Literature.** Discuss
    Saint-Gaudens' allegorical figures in the Farragut and Victory. Ask
    students to name allegorical figures from literature or mythology.
    If you were being commissioned to create a sculpture for your school
    and decided to add an allegorical figure, what would the sculpture
    be of, and what virtue would you symbolize in the allegorical
    figure? Write about and sketch your response.

2)  **Latin and Greek.** Translate the Latin phrase on the Shaw
    Memorial. Write a short Latin phrase to portray what art means to
    you. Create a design for your logo to be used as Letterhead
    stationary for your art department or school. In art class, create a
    woodcut or T-shirt design from your logo.

3)  **Greek Architecture.** Discuss and draw differences in
    Architectural elements. Plan a formal garden including walkways,
    fountains, art and plantings. Consider long-rang view, sheltered
    places, etc. Using graph paper and image cards of flowers, bushes,
    and trees for design purposes, draw out your plan. Focus on low,
    medium and tall plantings, when things bloom and the colors they
    display.

4)  **Theater.** Perform a choral reading of an Aesop\'s fable or short
    play by the Temple in Greek chifton, togas and tunics. Teachers may
    use the temple (burying place of the Saint-Gaudens) as a backdrop to
    videotape your student-written plays that you bring with you.

5)  **Classical Figures and Sculptures.** In sculpture, the gods and
    goddess are masculine, muscled figures, with wet drapery clothes.
    The gods are based on human anatomy, but are bigger, stronger, well
    muscled and perfectly proportioned. Give two different colors of
    markers and balls of string to pairs of students and a chart on
    classical figures. Measure own heads on string, and see how many of
    them make up their own height. Are you a god or goddess? Figure
    Height = 8 Heads.

6)  **Gold Leaf.** Apply gold leaf to a found object from nature picked
    up on the trails.

7)  **Physical Education**. Create your own Olympic event on the spot;
    assign athletes, fans, and judges. Sports could include: Juggling,
    relay races, somersaulting down the hill.

8)  **Mythology and Horticulture.** Tells stories of Diana and Acliptis,
    Identify medicinal plants within the formal and cutting gardens and
    make scientific drawings. Have students tell and illustrate their

COMMON CARRIER ACTION

**federal communications commission adopts**

**QUALITY wiring standard for connecting Telephone equipment to the
telecommunications network**

*New Standard Needed to Ensure that Consumers Have the Best Quality
Telephone Wiring for the Delivery of Broadband Services*

Washington, D.C. -- Today, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
established minimum telephone inside wiring quality standards to promote
consumer access to existing and advanced telecommunications services.
Telephone inside wiring refers to wiring located on the customer
premises side of the telephone network.

With the exponential increase in the installation of additional
telephone lines to accommodate Internet, fax and voice traffic, the
Commission recognized the need to establish minimum quality standards
for telephone inside wiring to ensure consumer access to advanced
broadband services. The percentage of additional lines for households
with telephone service has increased from 3% in 1988 to about 19% in
1997.

If customers cannot rely on the availability of quality inside wiring to
connect to advanced broadband services, as well as traditional voiceband
services, the deployment of these services could be hampered.

Broadband services can be more demanding on inside wiring than
traditional voice telephony services. For instance, broadband
transmission systems can operate at higher power levels and utilize a
greater frequency range than traditional voice services, placing
additional demands on inside wiring. Poor quality telephone inside
wiring can substantially degrade the performance of these high-powered
broadband technologies, and can cause problems in telephone wires that
are installed nearby. Thus, the use of adequate quality inside wiring
becomes even more important as broadband technology becomes more widely
deployed in residential and small business installations.

Specifically, the Commission's new rules requires that copper inside
wiring installed six months after the adoption of these standards be, at
a minimum, solid, 24 gauge or thicker, twisted pairs, marked to indicate
compliance with the electrical specifications for Category 3, as defined
in the ANSI/EIA/TIA Building Wiring Standards.

The Commission anticipates that the standard will be adopted by building
industry organizations, and reflected in local building codes, as well.

Remarks as delivered: August 9, 2007

Press Conference on Bridge Infrastructure, Newark, New Jersey

To view NJ's State Department of Transportation's Interim Report on
Bridges click below:

[Menendez.senate.gov/pdf/interimbridgereport080907.pdf](http://menendez.senate.gov/pdf/interimbridgereport080907.pdf)

What happened in Minnesota is a tragedy of national proportion because
it's a tragedy that could happen anywhere. That is...unless we get
serious about investing in our nation's infrastructure.

Infrastructure maintenance is not a sexy topic. As a matter of fact, it
goes on all the time and gets absolutely no attention at all....until
something goes drastically wrong. Unfortunately, we find ourselves at
that point today.

Governor Corzine wasted no time ordering a full investigation of our
state's thousands of bridges. I applaud him for taking quick action, and
I look forward to working with him and Sen. Lautenberg in Congress to
ensure the safety of New Jersey residents.

It's estimated that about 160,000 bridges nationwide (25%) are either
structurally deficient or functionally obsolete. The American Society of
Civil Engineers estimates that the cost of maintaining and replacing
obsolete or deteriorating bridges is about \$7.4 billion a year. And
that's just the cost of staying even and not allowing the overall
quality of our bridges to deteriorate further.

In New Jersey, the number of bridges that are structurally deficient or
functionally obsolete have been estimated in the past to be in the
thousands, as well.

Despite these dire facts, the President has dug in his hills for a
political showdown with Congress over funding priorities. And I'm here
to tell you that his priorities are NOT New Jersey's priorities!

Rather than investing in our nation's infrastructure, the president is
threatening to veto vital funding legislation.

Rather than working with Congress to meet the needs of our communities,
the president has frozen funding for domestic programs like bridge
maintenance and repair.

And rather than providing resources needed to keep New Jerseyans safe on
our roadways, the president is spending \$10 billion a month on his
misguided war in Iraq.

It's all a matter of priorities -- we can continue to spend millions of
dollars in Iraq, or we can ensure the safety of our roads and
infrastructure at home.

It's a question of re-evaluating our budget priorities, and that's
something the President just doesn't seem willing to do.

pesticides regulated under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). Kentucky Farm Bureau represents more than
79,000 farm families in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Our membership
includes farmers who depend upon pesticides to produce high-quality,
low-cost food. We appreciate the opportunity to present the following
comments.

Kentucky Farm Bureau is pleased with the position of the EPA that the
application of pesticides registered under FIFRA, when used in
accordance with the label, does not require a NPDES permit under the
Clean Water Act. As mentioned in EPA's guidance, the U.S. Court of
Appeals decision in *Headwaters, Inc. v. Talent Irrigation District*,
caused a great deal of concern for a number of groups, including
Kentucky Farm Bureau. If the holding of this case were strictly applied
in Kentucky, there would be terrible implications for Kentucky
agriculture. Farmers would face both increased costs and decreased
productivity---causing a dramatic and perhaps insurmountable loss to a
farmer's bottom line.

Kentucky Farm Bureau applauds EPA's astute guidance on this issue and
urges EPA to expand this guidance and issue a policy statement that
effectively retains FIFRA, and not the CWA, as the operative statutory
and regulatory authority over pesticides used in water. Once again, we
appreciate this opportunity to comment and await the final rule.

Sincerely,

Kori Jones

The meeting agenda included:

1.  Review of last meeting minutes

2.  Review of the ICD

# REVIEW OF THE 3-22-01 MEETING MINUTES

-   The minutes were accepted without any modifications.

## REVIEW OF THE ICD

The telecon started late because the room at GSFC was in use and the
telecon was almost postponed. Some issues got discussed even as we were
deciding to postpone the telecon. They were as follows:

-   Customers prefer to input the satellite state vectors in earth
    centered earth fixed coordinate (ECEF) system. The propagator
    converts the vector into earth centered inertial (ECI) system for
    integration and propagation.

-   Could Area and Mass be stored in DAS data base table when the
    customer mission level parameters are initialized? Same would be
    true for the drag coefficient and the solar radiation pressure
    coefficient.

-   SWSI to specify that the user vector is input in ECEF coordinates on
    the vector input screen.

-   Still waiting for the input from AVTEC on the input parameters
    needed for the CCSDS data protocol headers.

# REVIEW OF SWSI DAS OPS CONCEPT PAPER

-   No comments were made specifically on the SWSI DAS Ops Concept.

RE: The tariff classification of an ammunition belt and an ammunition
case from China

Dear Ms. Antrim-Saizan:

In your letter dated April 12, 2005, you requested a tariff
classification ruling on behalf of HYI Hawe Yue, of Covina, California.

The first submitted sample is identified as Model FS-060 "No Flight
Zone." It is an ammunition/gun shell belt that is constructed of nylon
fabric covered neoprene in a camouflage print. It is designed to hold 25
rounds in individual slots spaced along 29 inches of neoprene. Stitched
onto either end are two 2" webbed straps measuring 15" in length and
ending in plastic buckles. You indicate that the item is worn around the
waist or hips so that ammunition is easily accessible while hunting.

The applicable subheading for the Model FS-060 "No Flight Zone"
ammunition belt will be 6307.90.9889, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for other made up textile articles,
other. The rate of duty will be 7 percent ad valorem.

The other submitted sample is identified as Model FS-070 "Loaded
Transporter." Also constructed of nylon fabric covered neoprene in a
"camo" print, it is a case that is designed to hold 24 rounds in
individual slots spaced along two sides. The case measures 13" x 5".
There is a zippered center compartment. It has two spring clips on the
upper edge and two D-rings on the bottom that you state are intended for
wader adaptation.

The applicable subheading for the Model FS-070 "Loaded Transporter"
ammunition case will be 4202.92.9026, HTS, which provides for trunks,
suitcases...holsters, and similar containers, other, other, of man-made
fibers. The rate of duty will be 17.6 percent ad valorem.

HTS 4202.92.9026 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 to
this merchandise, we suggest that you check, close to the time of
shipment, the "Textile Status Report for Absolute Quotas" available at
our web site at www.cbp.gov. In addition, you will find current
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
imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact
National Import Specialist Mitchel Bayer at 646-733-3102.

Subject: FOIA Appeal: Section 103 \-- HOPE Application

October 26, 1992

Frank L. Armour

General Counsel

Housing Authority of City of Newark

57 Sussex Avenue

Newark, New Jersey 07103-3992

Dear Mr. Armour:

This is in response to your Freedom of Information Act

(FOIA) appeal dated July 23, 1992. You appeal the June 23, 1992

denial by Burton Bloomberg, the Acting Manager of the Newark

Office, of your request for information regarding the application

of the New Communities Corporation to acquire certain buildings

in the Hayes Homes public housing project under the provisions of

the Home Ownership and Opportunity for People Everywhere program

(HOPE), authorized by Title IV of the National Affordable Housing

Act of 1990. Mr. Bloomberg withheld the application pursuant to

Section 103 of the Department of Housing and Urban Development

Reform Act of 1989, 42 U.S.C. Section 3537a, as a withholding

statute meeting the requirements of Exemption 3 of the FOIA, 5

U.S.C. Section 552 (b)(3). The document requested consists of a

grant application package required by the Notice of Funding

Availability (NOFA) which appeared in 57 Fed. Reg. 1537 (January

14, 1992).

I have determined that the withholding of the application of

the New Communities Corporation under Exemption 3 during the

selection process was legally correct. This provision pertains

to material exempted from release by statute, in this instance,

42 U.S.C. Section 3537(a), which proscribes the disclosure of

information during the selection process for the award of

assistance from the Department. With the termination of the

selection process on September 30, 1992, the information is now

available for disclosure under Section 102 of the Department of

Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989, 42 U.S.C.

U.S.C. Section 3545(a)(4), in accordance with the Department\'s

FOIA procedures. You should direct your request to the Newark

Office.

Judicial review of my action on this appeal is available to

you in the United States District Court for the judicial district

in which you reside or have your principal place of business, or

in the District of Columbia, or in the judicial district where

the records you seek are located.

Very sincerely yours,

George L. Weidenfeller

Deputy General Counsel (Operations)

**Jackson Supports Daley Call For No-fly Zone**

Congressman says Proposed new East-West Runways at O'Hare

Could Imperil Nation's Aviation System

**"Peotone is no Longer a Political Issue; It's a National Security
Issue"**

Citing national security concerns, Congressman Jesse L. Jackson Jr.
today announced his support for Mayor Richard Daley's call for a no-fly
zone over Downtown Chicago and called on fellow Members of Congress to
do the same.

"This is an extremely important position that the Mayor is advocating.
All members of the Illinois delegation should support the Mayor's call
in light of national security concerns," Jackson said.

Jackson further stated that a proposed new six east-west runway
configuration at O'Hare Airport could cripple the nation's aviation
system in the future in the event of heightened terrorist alerts.

"Under the City's proposed O'Hare reconfiguration plan, all six runways
would run east and west, meaning that \-- depending on wind speed and
direction \-- thousands of flights each day would have to depart or
arrive by flying over or near downtown Chicago," Jackson said.

"Obviously we need to protect Downtown and our citizens from a possible
terrorist attack. That concern further underscores the need \-- for
national security reasons \-- for building a major regional airport that
does not require air space over Chicago for its landings and
departures."

The FAA has declared no-fly zones over New York City and Washington D.C.

Jackson added that a proposed no-fly zone over Chicago could hamper, or
even close, Midway Airport, which is located much closer to Downtown
Chicago and where one of its two runways points directly at the Loop. He
also noted that Mayor Daley closed Meigs after the 2001 terrorist attack
because of its close proximity to the City.

O'Hare handles about 950,000 flights annually, a daily average of 2,600.
Under the proposed O'Hare expansion, those numbers could jump to 1.6
million flights a year, or 4,400 a day.

"This is no longer a political issue," Jackson said. "The development of
a third airport is now a national security issue."

**ORDER**

**Adopted: June 8, 2000 Released: June 12, 2000**

By the Deputy Chief, Cable Services Bureau:

1\. On August 4, 1999, Andrews Cable Board (\"Complainant\") filed a
pole attachment complaint against Murphy Electric Power Board
(\"Respondent\"), pursuant to Section 224 of the Communications Act of
1934, *as amended*,[^1] (\"Pole Attachment Act\") and Subpart J of the
Commission\'s Rules.[^2] On or about August 12, 1999, Respondent
requested leave to file a motion to dismiss. Respondent filed a motion
to dismiss, which stated that Respondent is owned by the City of Murphy,
a political subdivision of the State of North Carolina.[^3]

2\. Pursuant to the Pole Attachment Act, the Commission does not have
jurisdiction to regulate attachments to poles owned or controlled by a
utility that is owned by a State.[^4] A State is defined as \"any State,
territory, or possession of the United States, the District of Columbia,
or any political subdivision, agency or instrumentality thereof.\"[^5]
Because Murphy Electric Power Board is owned by the City of Murphy, a
political subdivision of the State of North Carolina, we do not have
jurisdiction to resolve this complaint. Therefore, we will grant
Respondent's motion to dismiss and terminate this proceeding.

3\. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Sections 0.321 and 1.1406 of
the Commission\'s Rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 0.321 and 1.1406, that the
referenced motion to dismiss IS GRANTED, the complaint IS DISMISSED, and
the proceeding IS TERMINATED.

SUBJECT: Michoud Assembly Facility (MAF) Utilization Process Update

The initial process for requesting utilization of Michoud was baselined
in June 2007. The MAF Transition Office has updated the process for
requesting utilization of MAF. This updated utilization request process
continues to apply to all users, such as NASA (e.g., Constellation,
Ares, etc.), Non-NASA U. S. Government (e.g., US Department of
Agriculture), and commercial work.

To ensure timely evaluation of requests for new MAF users and changes
from existing MAF users, the updated process includes some options for
speeding up request evaluation. The attached new process flow indicates
that all requests will continue to be sent to:

MSFC/MAF Transition Office

Attn: Victoria Dixon

> Mail Code DM01
>
> Marshall Space Flight Center, AL 35812

Requests can also be submitted electronically. As described in
Enclosures 1 and 2, the evaluation of all requests will be processed
through the MAF Control Board and approved requests/changes will be
processed through procurement, as appropriate. The revised process and
blank forms for submitting utilization requests can be obtained at the
following website: <http://mafbusiness.msfc.nasa.gov/>. The updated
process and forms are provided in the attachments.

The new process is effective immediately and replaces any prior MAF
utilization request processes.
