Subject: Senate Space Available bill introduced today, S.346

 

Good Afternoon All,

 

 

     I am pleased to inform you about this great news!  Senator Tester of
Montana introduced the Senate version of our Space Available bil early this
afternoon; the bill number is S. 346.  Senator Tester was joined by his
colleague from Montana, Senator Baucus, and by Senator Heller of Nevada, who
is the lead Republican cosponsor.  If your Senators want to cosponsor this
bill, they should contact Kellin Clark in Senator Tester's office.  I am
willing to hold a Conference call to update everyone on this legislation.
If you are interested in participating, please let me know, and I will set
it up.  Thank you all for your hard work on this issue.  Jesse
