On Friday, May 9, 2009, David Donovan and Bruce Franca of MSTV contacted the Chief of the Office of Engineering Technology regarding the above-captioned matters.

Pacifica "Super Tuesday" Election Night Broadcast and LiveBlog @ KPFA.org
Tuesday, February 5th, 5PM - 10:PM PT

On February 5th, voters in 22 states will caucus and vote on the composition of roughly half the delegates at this year's Democratic and Republic national conventions (and more than a third of the delegates in the Green convention). It's the biggest Super Tuesday ever—and virtually guaranteed to determine which candidates will go to the mat for the presidency in November.

For Republicans, it's a battle of the base, as candidates representing the party's libertarians, evangelicals, and business conservatives pull the GOP in opposite directions. For Democrats, it's a battle of the buck between the two best-financed candidates in the history of American politics.

Pacifica Radio will bring you up-to-the minute voting results, speeches from winners and losers, and analysis of who's voting, why, and what it all portends for November. Polk Award-winning broadcaster Larry Bensky will co-anchor with Aimee Allison. Additional contributions from Hard Knock Radio's Davey D.

REMARKS OF COMMISSIONER MICHAEL J. COPPS
“FREE MY PHONE”
NEW AMERICA FOUNDATION FORUM
WASHINGTON, DC
JANUARY 22, 2008
Good Morning and thanks to my friend Michael Calabrese and the New America
Foundation for holding another of its forums that have done so much to serve the public
interest. It’s an honor, and somewhat humbling, to speak before this distinguished panel
and what is obviously an expert audience. I’ll try to be brief because I’m just as eager to
hear from the luminaries gathered here as you are.
Over the week-end, I was remembering back to 1970 when I first went to work in
the United States Senate. Our fanciest piece of work-saving equipment was an old robo
machine that cranked out pretty awful-looking mass mailings. Everything else was typed
by hand and when Selectric typewriters came along, we all fought tooth-and-nail to be
one of the lucky few to get one. When the Senator dictated even a minor change to a
speech draft, his personal secretary had to retype the entire text. When we needed to
phone back to the state, we had a WATS line, but initially we shared it with a more senior
