An FYI for all of you involved in ARES out there.  I just
received this from ARRL Field Service Coord. Steve Ewald.

========================================

NEWINGTON, CT, Jun 6, 2003--ARRL and the Department of
Homeland 
Security (DHS) will sign a Statement of Affiliation (SoA) at
the 
League's 2003 National Convention later this month in Texas.
The 
convention will be held June 20-22 at the Arlington
Convention Center 
in conjunction with Ham-Com. Since both ARRL and DHS view
community 
disaster preparedness and response as top priorities, they
will 
pledge mutual support for Citizen Corps--a community-based
training 
and outreach initiative that brings together volunteers and
first 
responders."

This is just the lead paragraph, and the complete ARRL Web
