Sent: Friday, March 07, 2003 12:37 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: LSTA update Forwarded from Barbara Will/ASCLA: Yesterday morning, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 13 - the bill reauthorizing LSTA as part of the Museum and Library Services Act of 2003 - on a vote of 416 to 2. The 416 "yea" votes came from 220 Republicans, 195 Democrats and 1 Independent; the two "nay" votes came from 2 Republicans. The bill's passage, and the overwhelming majority vote, is a tribute to all the work that you and others have done over the last two years. Congressman Peter Hoekstra (R-MI) introduced H.R. 13 and urged the House to support it. He was followed by six other Representatives who also urged their colleagues to vote for the bill: Ruben Hinojosa (R-TX), Max Burns (R-GA), Major Owens (D-NY), Sue Kelly (R-NY), Bob Filner (D-CA), and Jim Gibbons (R-NV). All spoke eloquently and well, and Congressman Filner used stories from the LSTA Success Stories Web site in his comments on the Floor. The immediate next steps are: 1. Applaud yourselves for a job well done, and celebrate that all the efforts paid off! 2. Thank all those who voted for H.R. 13, by phone or fax or both. That's EVERYONE EXCEPT Jeff Flake (R-AZ) and Ron Paul (R-TX) who voted "nay" and those 16 Representatives who did not vote: John Conyers Jr. (D-MI), Barbara Cubin (R-WY), John Culberson (R-TX), Bob Etheridge (D-NC0, Richard Gephardt (D-MO), Duncan Hunter (R-CA), Frank Lucas (R-OK), Juanita Millender-McDonald (D-CA), Brad Miller (D-NC), Solomon Ortiz (D-TX), Ileana Ros-Lehtiner (R-FL), Vic Snyder (D-AR), Bart Stupak (D-MI), Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), Robert Wexler (D-FL), and Don Young (R-AK). It would also be good to especially thank those who were co-sponsors - the list is attached. 3. Solicit co-sponsors for S. 238, the Senate bill addressing LSTA reauthorization. We have 25 now, but we need many more. That list is also attached. And thank you, now, for your tremendous work. We worked hard in 2002 and saw it come to nothing; we worked hard this year and we succeeded. Next stop: the Senate!
