Tail Winds Limited is a company incorporated in the Isle of Man (Company No.56352c), with a paid-up capital if US$ 20 million in 1994. Besides Goyal, the Board of Directors as on November 30, 2004, consisted of Peter Lal, a Singaporean business consultant, Ali Ghandour, a Jordanian international aviation consultant, Jehangir Rustam Gagrat, an Indian solicitor and Victoriano Posadas Dungca, an American business consultant.

The proposed amendment would actually have banned desecration of the American flag.Here are some highlights from United States Code Title 4, Chapter 1: Sec. 7(b): ... When the flag is displayed on a motorcar, the staff shall be fixed firmly to the chassis or clamped to the right [front] fender. Sec. 8(d) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. Sec. 8(i). The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. (This is already punishable in Washington, D.C., by $100 fine or 30 days in jail.) These rules don't come from the Boy Scout Handbook, or even army regulations, but the 77th U.S. Congress.
