Will VEs continue to conduct code exams and

no VE's will not

Not true.
I would VE such sessions.

as I understand it would not be at a true VE session and I hope it
gets enforced

Enforced? It's a free country.
obviosuly you object to it

If 3 certified VE's want to get together and
attest that candidates passed a certain Morse test, giving it the same
credibility as an ARRL administerd FCC VE session, why not?

it should not be coupled with test session

You declare the official VE FCC test session closed. Then open a new ARRL CW
proficiency exam session. No problems there.

There's no law
against that.

today none in 21 days it will be since the test sessions are for
offcail test

The ARRL can have their own official CW test. Also, after the Bush
administration privatizes the FCC, ARRL will most likely control the Part 97
amateur land mobile section anyway :-)) (think about it, kb9rqz ...maybe the
CW proficiency certificate will get you some extra priviledges someday heh
heh ).
