It is likely that the majority of those that are involved with the EAS at
many levels ( Emergency Managers, Radio/TV/Cable systems etc)  Don't really
have a clue about the hard work that a dedicated few have put out to get us
to this point.   Frankly, many people don't care to know as they have a dim
view of the EAS etc.

I would love to see a big, full page, thank you be created that shows a long
list of names with a huge, page filling, thank you overlaid.    This is
something that many media print publications might well run.   First we need
that list of names and someone to do the graphics.

My $.02.

I would have to second that - Al K and Manny C have both been working
diligently, and really pushing hard to make things happen.  

June 30th wasn't the finish line - it was the starting gate, and their
support - as well as the other folks at FEMA and FCC - is going to be
essential as we continue down this road...

Adrienne/Mike,

Yes, and we should stop periodically and pay homage and thanks to Al Kenyon
at FEMA. Broadcasters have never had such a good friend and ear as Al. What
a vast change since Al has been there.

...and yes, I agree that FEMA should be a permanent partner in the EAS
architecture but I'm not sure we should overwhelm them with a lot of demands
all at once. A year of conducting RWTs should give us plenty of material to
build a good case for maintaining their involvement, particularly for the
stations in states that just don't want to get involved! And you know there
will be some of those...
