I have been told that the following 2 things are before the Senate, but cannot locate them in Congressional Record and similar sources. Can anyone elucidate? (1) A bill to abolish private consulting, "Senate 1706", mentioned by a correspondent to Robert Pease in a recent issue of _Electronic Design_. (There _is_ a Senate 1706, but it has to do with import duties on some industrial chemicals.) (2) A bill to ban receivers that can tune in cellular phones. (Right now, eavesdropping is illegal but the equipment itself isn't.) -- + Michael Covington - Artificial Intelligence Programs - U of Georgia - USA + Unless otherwise noted, these are private opinions, not official statements. + VOTE NO GEORGIA LOTTERY - we need not imitate mistakes of other states.
