Subject: Report on activity through March 14th

  • Firm in receipt of over 400 letters generated by District Directors addressed to 81 House members and 5 senators.
  • Coordinated letter receipts with congressional distribution in meetings.  Most letters received from non-targetted districts have been forwarded to their respective offices with ARRL packets and our personal letter.
  • Meetings with staff on ARRL’s multiple issues during the past two weeks:
    • Rep. Mike Ferguson (R 7th NJ)
    • Rep. Ted Strickland (D 6th OH)
    • Rep. Sherrod Brown (D 13th OH) - Just yesterday we were informed by Rep. Brown’s office that they are very interested in supporting ARRL members throughout Ohio, as the Congressman is making a Senate bid this fall.
    • Rep. George Radanovich (R 19th CA)
    • Rep. John Shadegg (R 3rd AZ)
    • Rep. Lee Terry (R 2nd NE)
  • Senate visits went well with Sen. DeWine and Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison’s offices, both expressing interest in possible Senate legislation.
  • Our visitations are concentrating on the ‘88’ Senate and House targets (preferably with district letters) during the initial 90 day period.
