Electricity: The Road Toward Restructuring
The Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 (PUHCA) and the Federal Power Act (FPA) were enacted to eliminate unfair practices and other abuses by electricity and gas holding companies by requiring federal control and regulation of interstate public utility holding companies. Comprehensive energy legislation has passed the House and Senate. The House passed H.R. 6 on April 11, 2003. On July 31, 2003, the Senate suspended debate on S. 14, inserted the text of H.R. 4 (107th Congress) as a substitute, and passed H.R. 6. A conference agreement was reached November 17, 2003, and passed by the House the next day. H.R. 6 includes an electricity title that would, in part, repeal PUHCA, would prospectively repeal the mandatory purchase requirement under PURPA, and would create an electric reliability organization. On June 15, 2004, H.R. 4503, a comprehensive energy policy bill, passed the House.

Vieques, Puerto Rico Naval Training Range: Background and Issues for Congress
On April 30, 2003 – one day ahead of schedule – the Department of the Navy (DoN) closed down its controversial live-fire training range on the Puerto Rican island of Vieques and transferred the land to the Department of the Interior on May 1, 2003. The Secretary of the Navy had certified to Congress on January 10, 2003, that DoN would cease training operations on the island by May 1, 2003. The Navy Secretary’s certification was required by Section 1049 of the FY2002 defense authorization act (P.L. 107-107; S. 1438). The Navy announced in February 2003 that it also intends to close down its supporting activity at Roosevelt Roads on mainland Puerto Rico by September 30, 2003. The Senate Armed Services Committee’s report (H.Rept. 107-151 of May 15, 2002) on the FY2003 defense authorization bill (S. 2514) directed the Navy to submit a report to Congress by March 1, 2003 on, among other things, alternate locations for conducting the training previously conducted at Vieques. This CRS report will be updated as events warrant.

Army Aviation: The RAH-66 Comanche Helicopter Issue
Although it has been a high priority Army program, a number of factors have complicated the RAH-66 Comanche program. Since its inception, the program has been restructured several times–postponing the initial operational capability (IOC) and increasing overall program costs. Presently, there is debate within the Army regarding whether the program should be reduced significantly to make funds available to pursue other modernization priorities.

Digital Television: An Overview
Digital television (DTV) is a new television service representing the most significant development in television technology since the advent of color television in the 1950s. DTV can provide sharper pictures, a wider screen, CD-quality sound, better color rendition, and other new services currently being developed. A successful deployment of DTV requires: the development by content providers of compelling digital programming; the delivery of digital signals to consumers by broadcast television stations, as well as cable and satellite television systems; and the widespread purchase and adoption by consumers of digital television equipment. A key issue in the Congressional debate over the digital transition has been addressing the millions of American over-the-air households whose existing analog televisions will require converter boxes in order to receive digital signals when the analog signal is turned off.
