	03/24/03 - The Tancredo Moratorium Bill
		The 300,000 limit in the moratorium bill would let us bring in the Solzhenitsyns and Enrico Fermis that would not otherwise be in this country (how many we'll find in places like Mexico is another question; a lot fewer than 300,000, I'd guess).

		A campaign to pass the moratorium would by itself generate debate, disseminate information, provoke new ideas and put pressure on Congress and the administration to deal with the issue one way or another.

		Glendening said he would not lift the moratorium until the study is completed and reviewed by the state legislature, which he estimated would be in about a year.
		Townsend said at the time that it would be "tough to have a report come out and say this wasn't fair knowing that while the report was going on, that people were executed." She recently announced she is running to succeed Glendening, who cannot seek a third term.

		The moratorium has been in effect since 1998 (a small eternity when it comes to discussing biotechnology with its rapid pace), held back by both the greens and the special interests but also a widespread anxiety among European consumers.
		She had so far been able to count on the support of the member states' own ministers for the environment, but on April 18 the EU's new labeling laws came into force, making the argument of the lack on strict EU rules on labeling obsolete.
		The reversing of the moratorium should have been accompanied by much more discussion with the public in order to explain why it is of great importance for consumers to allow new GM products.

		But without a moratorium such a royal commission would be like sitting in an empty stable debating the finer details of horse restraints, while the animal gallops over the horizon.

	Work Effectively to Stop Mass Immigration: A National Security Threat
		Any organization which does not advocate, as a first priority, a moratorium on all legal immigration in excess of 100,000 per year is just kidding around, much to the detriment of those who are sincere.
		Advocating "reforms" or reductions only in certain categories of immigrants without advocating an all-inclusive moratorium is ineffective, because it implicitly grants the opposition's basic premise: that some substantial level of mass immigration is good.
		Only by enacting a moratorium on most categories of legal immigration, with strict limits on others, as the Tancredo Bill (HR 2712) does, and by enforcing our laws against illegal immigration, and deporting those who have broken our law by being here illegally, will we be able to achieve the security we seek.

	Moratorium on Consideration of Proposed Associate Programs at Four-Year Universities (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The affected university provides evidence that the proposed associate-level program may not, for reasons of required academic content, professional accreditation, or unique resource issues, be appropriately offered at any two-year college within the university’s service area.
		In all cases, the Board of Supervisors of the LCTCS would be requested to make a recommendation on the proposal to ensure that it would not undermine program offerings at community or technical colleges under the LCTCS System located within the relevant service area of the affected four-year university.
		Moreover, if a proposed associate-level program at a four-year university is approved by the Board of Regents during the moratorium, it would be understood that the program could later be transferred to a proximate community or technical college if circumstances changed.

	Moratorium Ordinance
		A temporary moratorium would provide an opportunity for the citizens of Easton, acting through their elected and appointed officials, to evaluate and consider amendments to the Town's Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance and to enact such amendments.
		The Council also finds that a temporary moratorium upon big box retail applications will leave owners of commercially-zoned properties with a variety of permitted, conditional and planned unit development uses available as development options which will be unaffected by the imposition of the proposed rnoratorium.
		Whereas, the Town Council finds that adopting a temporary moratorium upon big box retail development in Easton will create a more stable environment during the moratorium period so that revisions to the Comprehensive Plan and/or the Zoning Ordinance can be formulated, considered and adopted in an orderly and thorough manner.

		In November 1998 US economic sanctions, which had been imposed as punishment for Pakistan's May 1997 nuclear tests, were partially lifted.
		This was a reward for Pakistan's announcement of a voluntary moratorium on further tests, a commitment to adhere to the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, and the resumption of dialogue with India over disputed Kashmir.
		It paved the way for the government, on 25 November 1998, to agree a US$5.5 billion economic bailout package with the IMF and World Bank.
