Subject: NOVICE LANGUAGE ALERT -- 07/12/05
We are still trying to get as many signatures on the letter from Representatives Tom Cole (R-OK) and Donald Payne (D-NJ) opposing the novice language provision in H.R. 609. We will be accepting signatures until close of business on Monday. Please continue to outreach to your Congressman or Congresswoman on the importance of this letter to the TRIO students and programs in your area. The letter can be found on the Council's website at http://www.coenet.us/reauthorization/ColePaynesignonJULY05.pdf .
The list of the Representatives who have signed the list so far is below. As always, thanks for your continued work and support for the TRIO programs.
