whether the frequencies in the 700 megahertz band
will be put to their highest and best use for the benefit
of consumers.
(4) The Federal Communications Commission is
also in the process of determining how to resolve the
interference problems that exist in the 800 megahertz
band, especially for public safety. One option being
considered for the 800 megahertz band would involve
the 700 megahertz band. The Commission should not
hold the 700 megahertz auction before the 800 mega-
hertz interference issues are resolved or a tenable plan
has been conceived.
(5) The 700 megahertz band is currently occu-
pied by television broadcasters, and will be so until
the transfer to digital television is completed. This sit-
uation creates a tremendous amount of uncertainty
concerning when the spectrum will be available and
reduces the value placed on the spectrum by potential
bidders. The encumbrance of the 700 megahertz band
reduces both the amount of money that the auction
would be likely to produce and the probability that
the spectrum would be purchased by the entities that
valued the spectrum the most and would put the spec-
trum to its most productive use.
ment to a section or other provision, the reference shall
be considered to be made to a section or other provision
of title 38, United States Code.

Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas (for himself and Mr. CARDIN) introduced the

A BILL
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to restore

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) Circumstances in the telecommunications
market have changed dramatically since the auc-
tioning of spectrum in the 700 megahertz band was
originally mandated by Congress in 1997, raising se-
rious questions as to whether the original deadlines,
or the subsequent revision of the deadlines, are con-
sistent with sound telecommunications policy and
spectrum management principles.
(2) No comprehensive plan yet exists for allo-
cating additional spectrum for third-generation wire-
less and other advanced communications services. The
Federal Communications Commission should have the
flexibility to auction frequencies in the 700 megahertz
band for such purposes.
(3) The study being conducted by the National
Telecommunications and Information Administration
in consultation with the Department of Defense to de-
termine whether the Department of Defense can share
or relinquish additional spectrum for third generation
wireless and other advanced communications services
will not be completed until after the June 19th auc-
tion date for the upper 700 megahertz band, and long
after the applications must be filed to participate in
the auction, thereby creating further uncertainty as to

risks of such tobacco product and whether such

tobacco products;
‘‘(B) a full statement of the components,
ingredients, and properties, and of the principle
or principles of operation, of such tobacco prod-

‘‘(C) a full description of the methods used
in, and the facilities and controls used for, the
manufacture, processing, and, when relevant,
packing and installation of, such tobacco prod-
uct;
‘‘(D) an identifying reference to any per-
