This pre-dates the Clinton era by at least a decade. Remember, one of the reasons the FCC gave for the change to a one-size-fits-all AM power limit rule was that the number of active AM'ers on the air did not justify the costs of the "special training" that would be necessary, to teach FCC field inspectors how to use different power standards for measuring AM and SSB transmitter power. This rulemaking proposal was released in 1982 as I recall. I still have a thick folder full of paperwork from that proceeding on file.
