        No, but it does make it very unlikely the "old timers" who told
        that story had any idea what they were talking about. Mind
        telling me where you got the idea the NRA backed the 1934
        legislation? Since none of us were around then, I assume you're
        quoting from the accounts of someone who *was* there. I know you
        "understand" that NRA backed the legislation. I know Guy "heard
        the old timers say" that NRA backed it. I'm asking who the old
        timers are, that are saying these things? Did they know the
        legislative process at that time? Or are these old timers just
        repeating any rumor they heard? Ernie P.
