[EAS] Senate Bill Could Cut NWS Offices from 122 to 6

[Eric Adler]

This from Washington Post:
"Senate steps away from NWS restructuring proposal, puts emphasis on severe weather communication"
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/capital-weather-gang/wp/2015/06/22/senate-backs-off-nws-restructuring-proposal-puts-emphasis-on-severe-weather-communication/

I have yet to read the details or the article, just passing it along.
