**FROM: JX/Director, Facilities Engineering Division**

**SUBJECT: NASA Real Estate Agreements**

**The Facilities Engineering Division at NASA Headquarters is
increasingly being requested to concur on Space Act Agreements and other
documents that have real estate aspects or components. Please be advised
that before we will concur on such transactions, the extent and nature
of the commitment of NASA real property must be documented separately
from the non-real estate aspects of the proposals, using the procedures
contained in 14 CFR 1204.501-1204.504, NPD 8800.14, "Policy for Real
Property Management," and NPG 8800.15, "Real Estate Program
Implementation Manual."**

**In accordance with these authorities and directives, any agreement
with organizations outside of NASA that includes the use of Agency real
estate should be forwarded to this office for review. The component of
the agreement involving real estate must be documented by a separate
proposed lease, easement, use permit, or license, designated as such.
The real estate instrument will be executed by this office, unless it is
subject to one of the delegations to the Centers contained in 14 CFR
1204.503 or 1204.504. In that case, it may be executed by the Center,
after consultation with this office.**

**NASA real property management policies have always been oriented to
support the full range of Agency activities. We are looking forward to
supporting the new initiatives designed to take full advantage of NASA's
research and development capabilities.**

**We are continuing to work closely with your Real Property Accountable
Officers to accomplish this result. Should you require any assistance,
or have any questions or concerns on real estate issues, please have
your representative contact Anthony Cuticchia of my staff at
202-358-1094.**

**Congressman Franks Calls on Burma's Military Regime to Grant Necessary
Visas to Foreign Aid Workers**

**After 5 Days of Inaction and at Least 22,000 Dead, Franks Says Further
Delays Will Only Increase the Already Devastating Loss of Life**

May 7, 2008 --- Congressman Trent Franks (AZ-02), today responded to the
catastrophic loss of life being exacerbated by the Burmese military
regime's refusal to issue visas to foreign aid workers or accept
disaster assistance from the United States for the victims of the
devastating cyclone that occurred on Saturday, May 3^rd^.

**"Millions of innocent people who are already living under dire
government-imposed circumstances are now the victims of another
preventable catastrophe."** Franks stated.  **"While millions of dollars
in supplies and assistance continue to flood in from all over the world
in response to last weekend's tragic cyclone, Burma's illegitimate
military regime continues their genocidal oppression, leaving millions
of innocent and now homeless civilians suffering, starving, and dying as
we speak. **

**"If the regime continues to refuse access for aid workers and
assistance, the final death toll will make current figures pale in
comparison.  Such a scenario is unnecessary and avoidable.  I urge my
Colleagues, the Administration, and the international community to
continue to apply diplomatic pressure on the Burmese regime.  If we
cannot stop Burma's military regime from perpetuating this tragic
situation, nothing less than a deliberate genocide will occur.**

**"The people of Burma are facing an increasingly desperate situation
and I appeal to the conscience of those generals who do not want to have
more innocent blood on their hands to allow aid workers to come in and
provide international relief directly to the innocent victims."**

 

*Congressman Franks is serving his third term in the U.S. House of
Representatives, and is a member of the Committee on Armed Services,
Strategic Forces Subcommittee, Readiness Subcommittee, Committee on the
Judiciary, and is Ranking Member on the Constitution Subcommittee.*

Dash and Splash with the ARC

Back injuries

I had a back spasm the morning of July 2, as I was preparing to go for a
morning run in Waterfall Glen. I was bending over to tie my jogging
shoes, when my back began to tighten up. Within minutes, I was unable to
finish dressing, let alone jogging. I was unable to even walk normally
for about two weeks, and with the aid of a chiropractor, was finally to
resume normal activities in about four weeks.

I am doing my back exercises again and walking, but have not attempted
jogging yet. Being very careful is my main goal and avoiding injury.
Chiropractors use electrical stimulation to increase circulation and
promote relaxation as well as diathermy. My regular doctor doesn\'t
believe in chiropractic, so I\'ve had to pay for it myself. Traditional
medicine has a long way to go in this area!

**FCC Declares Carrier Call Blocking Unlawful Self-Help Remedy in Access
Charge Dispute and Suspends Tariffs to Investigate Claims of Access
Traffic Stimulation**

*Bureau Stresses That Carriers Must Not Block Calls*

Washington, D.C. -- The Wireline Competition Bureau today released an
Order clarifying that carriers may not resort to the "self-help" remedy
of blocking calls to avoid potentially inflated termination charges
resulting from alleged access stimulation activities. This action
affirms that all customers will continue to be able to connect with
anyone on the network that they so choose. Noting that the ubiquity and
reliability of the nation's telecommunications network is of paramount
importance, the Bureau emphasized that the Commission has several
mechanisms, including tariff investigations, to address allegations of
unreasonable access charges.

To address concerns expressed by long-distance and wireless companies,
the Bureau suspended the tariffs of 39 rural carriers due to substantial
questions raised about the lawfulness of the rates filed, in light of
possible efforts by the carriers to stimulate long-distance access
traffic. The Bureau will commence an investigation of the tariffs. The
specific issues that will be the subject of the investigation will be
identified in an upcoming designation order.

Action by the Wireline Competition Bureau, June 28, 2007, by Declaratory
Ruling and Order (DA 07-2863), and by Order (DA 07-2862).

**FCC ANNOUNCES THE INDIAN TELECOM TRAINING INITIATIVE**

**TO BE HELD SEPTEMBER 25 -- 28, 2000**

Washington, DC \-- The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announces
the Indian Telecom Training Initiative (ITTI 2000) seminar will be held
September 25-28, 2000 at the Radisson Hotel, St. Paul, Minnesota. The
FCC also announces that the National Exchange Carrier Association, Inc.
(NECA) will be a co-sponsor of the event. NECA will provide
administrative support.

> "I'm extremely pleased that NECA has become the first organization to
> join us in

developing this important training event," said Chairman William E.
Kennard. "It's disgraceful that in the 21^st^ Century basic
telecommunications services are not enjoyed by our land's oldest people.
We must do all we can to end the telecommunications divide that exists
between Indian Country and the rest of the United States and this
training event aims to offer solutions."

The goal of ITTI 2000 is to provide information to American Indian
Tribal Leaders and other interested parties to help increase
telecommunication services to tribal residents. The co-sponsors will
bring together their own experts, along with representatives from other
federal government agencies, telecommunication companies and emerging
technology firms, to inform tribal governments about various facets of
telecommunications services and how different technologies, regulatory
rules, and government programs can be used to benefit tribal
communities. The seminar will also identify programs and resources
available to tribal residents and governments to assist their efforts
and to secure access to and improve the affordability of
telecommunications services on tribal reservations.

"NECA is pleased to be able to work with the FCC and other key telecom
groups in an effort to find ways to address telecommunications issues
affecting Native Americans, " said Robert T. Anderson, President of the
National Exchange Carrier Association, Inc. "This event provides a great
opportunity to discuss these issues and to reach a better understanding
of how to provide high quality telecom services to all of the nation."
NECA administers the FCC's access charge plan, as well as other
government-mandated and private programs for the telecommunications
industry.

For more information on the seminar please call (888) CALL FCC (888)

SOUTHERN LOUISIANA

By Pat Hartinger

Residents of South Louisiana do not call their music Cajun or, the often
used phrase, zydeco. It is "French music," a country style dominated by
a fiddle and a button accordion. Many bands also include an acoustic
guitar, a triangle, and, maybe, a washboard. In the 1950s, guitars
became electric, but many bands play their traditional songs in the
"unplugged" way.

Dancing is an vital part of the music of this area. Cajun music is
reflected in the smooth dance movements. Zydeco music is more soulful
(and hip-shaking) with two-steps, waltzes, and lyrics about lost love,
death, and/or prison. Zydeco takes some of the Cajun melodies and mixes
them with the Afro-Caribbean rhythm and blues. No zydeco band is
complete without a frottoir, or metal rubboard which is struck
rhythmically with metal sticks, spoons, or bottle openers. While the
lead instrument in Cajun string bands was originally the fiddle, the
accordion became vital after its introduction to the area by German
settlers in the late 19th century.

![](media/image2.png){width="1.7097222222222221in"
height="2.7597222222222224in"}

Also unique to this area is "swamp pop" which is rather like rock and
roll mixed with Cajun blues, Black Creole, New Orleans rhythm and blues,
and country.

Taking stories with European origins and changing them to refer to life
in Louisiana or inventing their own tales, early balladeers would sing
without accompaniment at family gathering or special occasions. Most
songs are sung in the local French dialect and convey the people's love
of life. Wherever Cajun music starts up, dancing will usually follow,
with young children bouncing across the floor, too.

**SOUDER PRAISES PRESIDENT\'S**

**VISION FOR THE NATION**

** **

*U.S. Rep. Mark Souder released the following statement after President
George W. Bush delivered the State of the Union address:*

 

\"Facing seemingly insurmountable challenges-ranging from terrorism and
the very real prospect of a nuclear Iran to high energy and healthcare
costs-the United States requires strong and imaginative leadership to
address so many complex questions. Either we as a country will shape the
future, or we will be shaped by the future. We need people with
experience and knowledge to lead us through these historic times. With
his inspirational call to higher values, President Bush showed that he
is such a leader.

 

\"As the President pointed out, we cannot retreat into the pre-9/11
fallacy that oceans will protect us from terrorist attacks. Rather, we
must continue to fight the global War on Terror and engage the enemy in
Afghanistan and Iraq. We simply cannot accept an Iran armed with nuclear
missiles.

 

\"As part of this war, we need to ensure that our military and law
enforcement have the necessary tools to protect us. We must reauthorize
the Patriot Act, provisions of which are in danger of expiring. And the
National Security Agency needs to be able to monitor communications
involving suspected members of Al Qaeda, even if they\'re making calls
to and from the United States.

 

\"For reasons of national security-and global competitiveness-I strongly
agree that we have to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. Ethanol and
biofuels can help achieve this essential goal.

 

\"In order that the United States remains economically-competitive in
the world, President Bush also raised the burden on our workers posed by
the high costs of health care. I\'ve been a longtime supporter of Health
Savings Accounts and other innovative programs, and I was pleased to
hear the President argue for their expansion.\"
