CEA supports a hard date.
I have heard from a D.C. insider whose opinions I respect that Senator
Stevens is aware of the issue. According to that report, that's why he
is strongly opposing a 2007 date. The report says he will push for a
2009 date because he needs the theoretical $10 billion that will put
into this year's budget bill, but that he will expect a later removal of
that date as happened with the September 30, 2002 auction cut off that
was written into the Balanced Budget Act of 1997.
TTFN,
Mark
