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.
