Here's my submission to the FCC.

However I am in favor of allowing access to the HF allocations
without the benefit of a Morse Code examination with the restriction
that non-Morse tested Amateurs not be allowed access to those parts of
the spectrum wherein voice (wideband) modes are not permittted.
Without the basic skills of being able to recognize whether or not they
are potentially interfering with other communications, the non-Morse
tested operator should be restricted to areas wherein they will have
less likelyhood of causing such interference.

Steve, I have to disagree with you on the concept that only Morse tested
operators be allowed to operate Morse. If the FCC is going to drop the code
requirement (which seems certain now), the operators should be allowed the
privileges of the comparable classes of today. Besides you don't have to be
familiar with a mode to hear that someone is using the frequency and thus to
know that you should go find another.
