Congressional Activity Greatly Diminished
Congress has taken little action relative to firearm-related
issues over the last week, as concerns over the threat of anthrax
have led to heightened security measures and a slower pace of
legislative activity. Please continue to call your U.S.
Representative at (202) 225-3121 and urge him to support the
Smith/Burns amendment to the "Aviation Security Act." For details
on this measure, please refer to the last two FAX Alerts we have
sent (Vol. 8, No. 40 & Vol. 8, No. 41).
In addition, the "National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2002"
still awaits final consideration by a House-Senate Joint
Conference Committee. Contact conference committee members, as
well as all of your own federal lawmakers, and urge them to
ensure that Sec. 1062 of S. 1438 is deleted from the final
version of the "National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2002."
For details on this provision, please refer to our last two FAX
Alerts.
You can reach your U.S. Senators at (202) 224-3121, and
your U.S. Representative at (202) 225-3121. You can also find
contact information by using the "Write Your Reps" tool at
www.NRAILA.org, and for a list of conference committee members,
please call the Grassroots Division at (800) 392-8683.
