DX Ace,

From about 1975 to 1997 'knowing' the Federal
Guidelines was a Co-Lateral-Duty for me.

OBTW - Yes - I know the word is spelled "Colleral".

Here is the guideline:

A person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or
other
Spanish culture of origin, regardless of race.

Nope. The American /USA/Federal Government definition of a term that was
basically invented in the USA is based on Spanish langauge and culture or a
heritige that has descended from siad language and culture. It has nothing
to do with blood. And if it did, since I am part Iberina Celt, I pass that
test too.

In fact, your wrong definition fails to recognizee the 15 million or so
Hispanics born in the USA.

It is NOT his culture of origin. It may be his adopted culture, but
certainly not
his culture of origin.

The definition used officially in the US does not have anything about
"origin" in it.
