I don't remember the number now; it was passed in either 1992 or 
1993.  It marginally softened our stance against audible traffic 
signals.  I thought it was somewhat ambiguous and blurred our 
unambiguous anti-pee-pee-caw-caw policy.  I thought its 
ambiguities would keep it from passing so I didn't rush to the 
microphone to tell the Emperor he had no clothes.  Turns out I was 
wrong.  The resolution passed.

I was there but the nature of the resolution escapes me now.  I'll 
probably remember just after I've sent off this reply packet!
