Extended


Fellow Federationists:



We are doing a great job at gaining cosigners to Congressman Towns' 
"Dear Colleague" letter, and Congressman Towns' office is now going to 
hold the letter open through next Friday, March 14.  At this time 
thirty-one members of the House of Representatives have signed on to 
support full funding of the Talking Books program.  I have listed the 
cosigners below this message.  If your representative wants to join the 
"Dear Colleague" letter they can contact Dana Grayson in Congressman 
Towns' office, or Jerry White in Congressman Bilirakis' office.  We must 
work hard next week to add as many members of the House to this list. 
You can be connected to the Capitol switchboard by calling (202) 
225-3121.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions.  Thank you 
again for your hard work on this important matter.



Sincerely,

Jesse Hartle
