[amsat-bb] HR3288 Bill to Reduce ITAR Restrictions on Commercial Satellites

[JoAnne Maenpaa]

Hello everyone,

I found out about H.R. 3288: Safeguarding United States Satellite Leadership
and Security Act of 2011 via an article posted at UniverseToday.com
(http://tinyurl.com/6r3nb4m).

HR3288 proposes to reduce ITAR restrictions on commercial satellite
development. I found additional information, including a link to the text of
the bill, list of the co-sponsors, and a progress-tracking overview posted
at:
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h112-3288

Perhaps something good will come out of congress. I now have something
constructive to write to my congresscritters about instead of messages
counting the days to the next election.

Hopefully it bodes well for amateur satellite projects worldwide.
