In other words, we will still be able to use DUATS.


That is a rather restrictive interpretation of the exemption. I would
hope the NWS would continue to provide access to:

Aviation Weather Center http://aviationweather.gov/

The 7-day zone forecast

Observation history

I use these a lot before deciding to use DUATS.

The whole bill is an audacious boondoggle. I've written both my
senators.
