The front page of today's Wall Street Journal has an article about the
debate. The headline is "Why the US wants to End the Link Between Time
and Sun."
Unfortunately, I don't get the electronic edition so can't cut-and paste.
From the article, it appears the USNO was the author of the proposal.
IT's attributed to Dennis D. McCarthy, who was "the Navy's 'Director of
Time'."
The first part of the article is mainly about the anti-leapsecond
arguments, but the latter part points out the opposition. There's a
quote from Rob Seaman (among others).
