[NFBWATLK] Washington Seminar Update

[mjc59 at comcast.net]

Thanks Denise. Representative Kilmer Will cosponsor the Excess Technology Affordability Act. He is very interested in looking at the other two bills once they are introduced.

Keep up the great work everyone. I will post another update later today.
