Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas) spearheaded a move in 2005 (S.517) to establish a "Weather Modification Operations And Research Board." You can read a summary of the bill at http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d109:SN00517:@@@D&summ2=m&

According to a report dated November 17, 2005, at KWTX.com, the bill was approved by the Senate Commerce Committee.

On December 13, 2005, bu$hco respectfully requested that the Senator "defer further consideration of the bill pending the outcome of an inter-agency discussion of these issues that the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) would coordinate – with the Department of Justice on legal issues, with the Department of State on foreign policy implications, with the Departments of Defense and State on national security implications, and with pertinent research agencies to consider the reasons the U.S. Government previously halted its work in this area."

Just another oddball idea from the bu$h regime, I spoze.

Oh, yeah. The Old Farmer's Almanac 2009 edition said, "Expect a hurricane in late September." Interesting that this rain system is being referred to as a hurricane on land, no?
