Thank you so much Keith, here is what I sent.

**************************************

I think the total ellimination of the Morse Code (CW) requirement will prove
detrimental to the Amateur Radio Service. I believe it will make it so easy
for trash to get into the ARS that it will eventually sound like CB Radio.

The testing has already been reduced to multiple guess. The CW test is a
ten question joke. In general you should NOT reduce the requirements ANY
MORE.

I base my comments on over 40 years as a FCC licensed Amateur Radio
Operater, I presently hold a pre give away EXTRA class license.

Thank You for your time.
