> Fellow Federationists:

>             I am pleased to write to you this evening to let you
> know that, thanks to your hard work, the Senate passed S. 841, the
> Pedestrian Safety Enhancement Act, late last evening.
>
>             As you know from previous legislative alerts, the Motor
> Vehicle Safety Act, S. 3302, was not allowed to move forward due to a
> couple of senators placing holds on the bill.  It was decided that
> the Senate would take the noncontroversial pieces of the Motor
> Vehicle Safety Act and attempt to pass them as standalone bills.  Our
> Pedestrian Safety Enhancement Act was one of these pieces, and it was
> passed by unanimous consent.  S. 841 will now move to the House for
> consideration.
>
>             I am asking that you contact your member of the House of
> Representatives and urge them to pass S. 841 as received from the
> Senate on the suspension calendar.  You may be connected to your
> member of the House by calling the Capitol switchboard toll free at
> (866) 727-4894.  We are one step closer to completing our work on
> this important issue, and I urge you all to make one last push to
> finish the job.
>
>             Thank you very much for your dedication on the
> Pedestrian Safety Enhancement Act.  I will update you with new
> information on House action when it is available.
