[amsat-bb] Re: ITAR is interesting to me

[Joel Black]

Someone mentioned waaay back in this discussion something about ITAR and 
international students being taught in the US.  Read this article:

http://slashdot.org/story/09/10/17/1948223/The-USs-Reverse-Brain-Drain

Is there anyone left in our government with common sense any more?  
Wait...  gah!!!  I'm blinded by a flash of the obvious - NO, there is no 
one left in government with common sense.  While I'll not get into the 
politics of ITAR (we're way beyond politics), perhaps we should get the 
ARRL involved in lobbying our effort.

Before, you say, "That's a wonderful idea, why don't you take that one 
and try it."  I am.  I don't know the exact procedure for doing so, but 
I think a letter to my ARRL Division Manager might be a good start.
