3. A number of public safety and other radio user groups have expressed serious concern regarding a section within H.R. 607. It is imperative that public safety work positively to support Congressional legislation that reallocates the D Block and provides funding for the nationwide public safety broadband network. However, there are sections of the House Bill (H.R. 607), such as Section 207(d) as well as Section 103 in Senate 28 that can be amended to better support public safety. Please contact your Congressional representatives and seek support for H.R. 607 and Senate 28 with the changes (amendments) sought by public safety. Both bills are attached for your review. NPSTC shares the concerns of many as expressed in the attached letter to the American Radio Relay League. Copies of H.R. 607 and Senate 28 are also attached for reference.
