- 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.)
