	Fellow Federationists:
	
	I write to ask you to immediately contact Representative Joe
Courtney who is on the House Education and Workforce Committee regarding the
Workforce Investment Act (WIA). This bill is currently being pre-conferenced
which means the House and Senate are working to resolve the differences
between the two versions of the bills.

	As you know, we are adamantly opposed to Section 511 of Title V and
the transfer of the Rehabilitation Services Administration to the Department
of Labor, which is in the Senate version of WIA. Now is the time to urge Joe
Courtney who is on the Education and Workforce committee to voice his
objections to these two provisions.
	
	Here is a call script that you can use when contacting
Representative Joe Courtney.Please call Monday, but no later than by next
Friday:

	Hi! My name is ________. It is my understanding that discussions are
being held to resolve differences between the House and Senate versions of
the Workforce Investment Act. Since Representative Joe Courtney is on the
Education and Workforce committee, I am calling to voice my objection to
Section 511 of S. 1356, which endorses segregated subminimum wage training
and employment. I am also concerned with the language that diminishes the
quality of rehabilitation services by transferring the Rehabilitation
Services Administration from the Department of Education to the Department
of Labor. I urge Representative Joe Courtney to ensure that these sections
are removed before the WIA language is finalized. Thank you.

If you are asked for the House companion bill number, it is H.R. 803.
	 
	Joe Courtney's phone number is: (202) 225-2076
<tel:(202)%20225-2076> 
	
	
Thank you,
Edward Shaham
