I am not sure what you mean by that statement.  The USCF has allowed computer
members since the early 1970's at least.  Crafty played in a USCF-rated event
a couple of years ago and is a "USCF computer member" with a rating of somewhere
in the mid 2350's (it played 7 games in one tournament and won them all, but
some of the opponents were low rated and only one GM was in the mix).

However, _any_ program author can request a Computer Membership from the
USCF and participate in USCF events _IF_ the tournament organizer agrees.
Any tournament may be declared (NC) (no computers) by the organizer if they
choose and we have to abide by that.  Crafty played in the Pan Am games a
few years ago as it was held at the University of Maryland Baltimore campus
where computer chess is (or was) actively being researched.
