ESEA help from Ohio

["M. Ellen Jay" <mejay@UMD5.UMD.EDU>]

Hi,
Yesterday during a conversation with NCLIS and Washington ALA office folks
it was mentioned to me that Rep. Ralph Regula from district 16 in Ohio is
intending to cut out the 25 million in designated funding for school
lobraries  from teh ESEA bill.  He is chair of the house side of the
conference committee so he is in a position to acomplish what he
wants.  Please if you are a constituant of his contact his office and
explain the impact such an action would have.  While others could share
their comments it is his constituants that will be able to have the most
impact.  This is a NOW action item.  They are having their committee
discussions now.  Thanks for any help.
