• amends ← CLERK read a committee amendment of the Committee on Energy and Commerce. The amendment provides that the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and Information with the FCC, after receiving public comment, shall assign and appropriate frequency for the radio station.

The amendment also provides that the Secretary of State is to report to Commerce on any violations by Cuba of international telecommunications agreements.

The stipulation is that the government must choose a non-AM frequency and that the Marathon facilities must be convertible to that frequency.
