I'm glad that there is an interest in the problem at the high levels of our government, but honestly, a few new reg's won't make any difference. If spam becomes legally unpalatable in the USA, it will go somewhere else but still end up in out mailboxes.
It seems that a new mail protocols and software need to be developed that would use keys or cookies in the delivery transaction that would at least give a little traceability. Even getting the public to sign their emails with existing clients and scrapping unsigned messages would be a good start.
