Also, note the absence of LMT signature...I'm sure there are many political consequences to be considered prior to becoming a co-signer of such a letter. Further, perhaps they took the congressional pulse and the status quo is not in jeopardy?

Hi Mike: Given the pending Congressional investigation on the China mess, Mr. Schwartz's signature would have hurt the industry efforts to fight the switch from Commerce to State. Until China matters are sorted out, Hughes will be the de facto voice for the industry, for better or for worse. In fact, for those who watched the testimony of Michael Armstrong in front of Congress regarding satellite licenses, he did a great job. I do not know whether he will save AT&T, but he was a very fine advocate for the satellite industry. I do not know if the new CEO of Hughes will be as effective. Best regards, Bernard Levy
