McCain Supports Giving Broadcasters First Responder Status
MCCAIN SUPPORTS GIVING BROADCASTERS FIRST RESPONDER STATUS

With Appropriations Committee markups aplenty to occupy Sen Landrieu's time, don't look for a big push on the bill until after the July recess, when more co-sponsors and a mark-up date will be sought. A similar bill has been introduced in the House.
