CAUCE's Proposed Amendment When CAUCE announced its formation, we also introduced our vision of what we hoped Congress would do to stop junk e-mail. Working with Congressman Christopher Smith (NJ), CAUCE's proposal was turned into H.R. 1748, The Netizens Protection Act. That bill will amend 47 USC 227 to include email.
