   Dear Mr. Pennington and Mr. Camarena:

   This is an official CITATION, issued by the Federal Communications
   Commission (Commission or FCC) pursuant to section 503(b)(5) of the
   Communications Act of 1934, as amended (Communications Act or Act), 47
   U.S.C. S: 503(b)(5), for violations of the Act and the Commission's rules
   that govern telephone solicitations, prerecorded and autodialed telephone
   calls, and facsimile or "fax" transmissions. You are hereby on notice that
   if you subsequently engage in any conduct of the type described in this
   citation, including Attachment A hereto, in violation of section 227 of
   the Act or sections 64.1200, 64.1601(e), or 68.318 of the Commission's
   rules, you and your company may be subject to further legal action,
   including monetary fines (forfeitures).

   Based on the record developed in this case, the Enforcement Bureau, acting
   through its delegated authority, finds that National Capital Exchange
   initiated, or caused to be initiated, one or more calls, or sent, or
   caused to be sent, one or more messages and/or faxes in violation of
   section 227 of the Communications Act and the Commission's related rules.
   In this regard, one or more complaints have been filed against you or your

   section(s) of Attachment A (Telephone Consumer Protection Act Violations)
   to obtain the legal requirements related to each violation and then read
   the section titled "Responding to the Citation," below, if you wish to
   respond. Because, future violations by you or your company of the type
   identified in Attachment A could result in fines, we encourage you to
