Agreed.  We (amateur citizens of Hawaii) need to contact our Senators 
Akaka and
Inouye and press for parallel Senate support.  If a senate bill hasn't 
been created,
we should press for it.

I know Senator Akaka is personally familiar with amateur
radio involvement with Hurricane Iniki, as I personally spoke with him 
at the
SCD bunker immediately after Iniki.  I believe it was the Sunday 
morning, 9/13/92.
If Senator Akaka is your senator, please remind him of it.  He might be 
inclined to
sponsor it.  I believe his district includes Kauai.
