Good Morning!
 
I have included at the bottom the Senators who are now on the Dear
Colleague letter and I am elated!  The list keeps growing and the
Senators who signed last year and are not on the list this year are:
Bayh (IN), Biden (DE), Carper (DE), Feinstein (CA), Landrieu (LA),  and
Nelson (FL).  There have been wonderful surprises like Dole (NC) and
Conrad (ND) - so keep plugging away as tomorrow is now the deadline and
because we would like more surprises!  Needless to say, I am so very
appreciative of your efforts.
 
We are also planning a meeting of FLLAN contacts at NLLD here in
Washington on May 13th.   For those of you who will be here, we look
forward to meeting with you to update you and to begin a dialogue about
where we are going.  I look forward to seeing many of you on that day.
 
Please call me if you need anything and again, thank you for your
efforts.
