Guest guest Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 April 26, 2007 Dear Coalition Members, The letter to the Senate Appropriations Committee has been submitted. We got 13 Senators from 10 states. This is a very good response. Here is the list of Senators who signed on: 1. Kerry (MA) 2. Ted Kennedy (MA) 3. Dodd (CT) 4. Barbara Mikulski (MD) 5. Barack Obama (IL) 6. Ron Wyden (OR) 7. Schumer (NY) 8. Durbin (IL) 9. Barbara Boxer (CA) 10. Bernard (VT) 11. Sherrod Brown (OH) 12. Casey (PA) 13. Feingold (WI) Thank you all for a tremendous effort. Because the deadlines to submit appropriation requests were extended in both the House and Senate, it is likely that the spending bills will be considered throughout the rest of the spring and into the summer. We will let you know as soon as we get a better sense of the revised timelines. Our next step will be to connect with the members of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees. Watch for updates.
