Do they realy mean "clearance" for Class C or D airspace? Current
regs only require a clearance for Class B, whereas Class C or D only
require 2-way radio communications.

"Cleared To Enter the Class Delta... Enter Right Traffic" ??

You don't suspect that this might be a slight modification to "current regs"
that bypasses the rulemaking process? Noticed any other legal niceties that
the current administration is shortcutting? I don't expect these guys to pay
a bit of attention to what we used to consider due process.
