House Members Support NASULGC's
Requests
|
|
To Members of the NASULGC System:
Yesterday was the deadline set by the House Agriculture
Appropriations Subcommittee to receive requests from members of
the House of Representatives for programs and projects to be
funded by the subcommittee in the F.Y. 2005 bill. Thanks to a
strong grassroots campaign by CARET and other parts of the NASULGC
system, a large number of House members included NASULGC's
priority requests within their member request letters. In addition
to numerous individual requests, some 50 members sent a joint
letter to the subcommittee, focusing on restoring the 33 line
items cut last year and on the National Research Initiative. The
joint letter effort was organized by Reps. Cal Dooley (D-CA) and
Chip Pickering (R-MS).
A copy of the joint letter has been posted to the Web site:

There is still time for you to contact your U.S. Senators to
ask them to support the system's requests for CSREES for FY 2005.
Let's keep those calls, faxes, and emails coming, team!
