He will be testifying on the successful efforts of Amateur Radio
operators 
who provided communications during the Katrina efforts, especially…when
all 
else failed.  When you hear him I think you will sense how honored he is
to 
be chosen to provide this testimony and how proud he is of amateur
radio’s 
and the ARRL’s role in the Katrina relief effort.
