[BC] NEW FCC COMMISH

[Ernie Belanger]

I never said they didn't but usually they are not so blatant about it.

It reminds me of a visit from the director of the National Police from a 
country that will remain unnamed.

I brought him and his entourage, including the agent for the company where I 
worked at the time, to the Smith and Wesson factory over in Massachusetts.

They had a large order with them and there was a problem so the director 
wanted to "negotiate".

I made the arrangements we went over. We met with the VP of International 
Sales and the President of the company.

Much to the surprise of everyone, he began the discussions in the office of 
the President of S&W

His bottom line was  they could do the laser engraving Vs Manual  and their 
usual site vs. the special one he had speced but only if they agreed to ship 
several top of the line handguns to his personal attention for his private 
collection.

The shock to all of us was how overt he was, gutsy enough to do the deal in 
front of his underlings as well as our agent and me. With a care less 
attitude.

 Usually these deals are done behind closed doors for obvious reasons.
Likewise politicians usually take care of their friends, but not quite a 
blatantly obvious as the Bush man.
