From the NASCAR fans Newsletter and Mike Irwin: I just received an e-mail from Jim Roach. Jim sent me an attached e-mail from a man named Rich Barnett. I am quoting Jim quoting Rich Barnett at this point (still with me ): “In Washington today, I attended the House Telecommunications Subcommittee Mark-up on H.R. 2369. Mr. Tauzin of Louisiana introduced an amended bill which replaces the original language almost in total. The amended bill was reported to the House Commerce Committee without further amendments and without objection. The amended bill only requires that scanner manufacturers eliminate cellular and PCS frequencies!” In other words, if the amended bill passes, it means that people who use scanners for NASCAR races will be able to continue to do so. The “fight” for this issue has been going on about six months. In his text, Rich Barnett suggests backing off from contacting Rep. Tauzin, so I pass that along as well. Mike thanks all the readers of the newsletter who sent along the same info(NASCAR Fans)(10-31-97)
