Actually, this bill is death to depositories (okay, so I am a bit
melodramatic too). However the outlook for the Hose vote appears grim.
We, meaning folks who are really interested in preserving the spirit of
the depository laws, really need to have our users as well as our
colleagues write,fax, or phone their Congressional delegation to let
them know what they think. For more points regarding this situation,
please refer to the GODORT web page
http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/GODORT/2001appro.html for further details,
examples of letters written and talking points.
Thanks for reading my two cents!
