Haven't seen it discussed here, but the August 28, 1995 issue of Lan Times covers Sen. Charles Grassley's (R-IOWA) Senate Bill 974.
Actually, we considered S.974 (the Anti-Electronic Racketeering Act of 1995) here in excruciating detail a couple of months ago. Check the archives from e.g. July. At last report, the bill had been referred to committee. If/when it ever emerges from subcommittee, there's cause for concern. No mention of it has been made in the Congressional Record since Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona joined as a cosponsor in late July. It doesn't currently appear on the unofficial list of "hot bills" on Thomas -- "bills that have received or are receiving floor action and/or debate in the United States Congress" (http://thomas.loc.gov/home/hot-bill.html) Hopefully it has died in committee, as more pressing matters have taken precedence. -Futplex <futplex@pseudonym.com>
