<DIV>Dear Fellow Federationists:</DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We have good news. Representative Bob Goodlatte, Chairman of the House
Judiciary Committee, has discharged the Marrakesh Treaty Implementation Act
from
his committee and the plan is for the full House to vote on the bill next
week.
The exact timing of the vote should be available late tomorrow (Friday)
afternoon. Once this date is known, we will send out a legislative alert to
all
listservs urging members to call their representative. It is your hard work
that
has gotten us to this point, but we can’t let up now. We are closer than we
have
ever been, and we are determined to see this through. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
<DIV>John</DIV>
