William Tauzin: “I wanted to take a minute to compliment the gentleman from Florida…”

On the recordMarch 5, 1998

I wanted to take a minute to compliment the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Stearns) and his efforts at our subcommittee level indeed to make sure that our bill did not interfere with the rights of the legal standing community, the amateur radio operators who do assist dramatically in times of natural disaster. My home State of Louisiana as he knows was visited by Andrew as his was just a few years ago. We have a desperate need for the services. The work he did in our subcommittee to ensure that we did not interfere with those legitimate uses of scanners is an important aspect of this bill that I am very glad the gentleman highlighted today on the floor.
