Bob Dole speaks out AGAINST big business?!?!?  I couldn't believe what I
just read....

--------------
WASHINGTON (Reuter) - In another setback for a major rewrite of
telecommunications law, Senate Majority Leader Robert Dole stepped up his
attack Wednesday on a proposal he claims would be a multi-billion dollar
``giveaway'' to broadcasters.

    The Kansas Republican and presidential contender said lawmakers should
``fix'' the provision before the telecommunications bill is voted on by the
full Senate.

    ``It makes no sense to me that Congress would create a giant corporate
welfare program when we are reforming welare for those trapped in a failed
system. That's exactly what would happen if we pass telecommunications
reform in its current form,'' Dole said in a speech on the Senate floor.

    He also charged that the bill would cost consumers billions of dollars.
And he questioned whether the existing legislation is worth the TV
broadcasters' ``asking price.''

    The controversial provision, sought by House Republicans, would set
aside for broadcasters a valuable slice of the  airwaves that can be used
for a new generation of digital services, such as high-definition TV.

    The bill in effect would give broadcasters new digital TV licenses for
free -- licenses that Dole said are valued at anywhere from $12.5 billion
to $70 billion.

Suddenly I feel like there WILL be peace in the Mideast and there WILL be a
peaceful resolution to the Bosnian nightmare.
