> providing  "(2) The preparation and issuance of hydrometeorological
> guidance and core forecast information. (3) The collection and exchange
> of meteorological, hydrological, climatic, and oceanographic data and
> information." to the public for free, unless "(1) the Secretary
> determines that the private sector is unwilling or unable to provide
> such product or service".

> Oh, look - seems Senator Santorum took money from an outfit that aims to
> provide that information - for a fee.
