Narrative:
On climb out, out of stl, ATC requested immediate acceleration to 320 KTS at approximately 6500 ft MSL. Controller advised us he had authority/authorized to issue such a request due to the airspace we were in. We complied. However, I contacted our dispatch department and they doubt ATC's authority/authorized to issue a waiver of this far. (Waiver of 250 KTS below 10000 ft.)
