Who to respond to

In the House, there are two types of committees, authorizers and appropriators. LWCF legislation has to get through both of these.

The two committees involved are:

• Don Young (Alaska) Chair Resources Committee, U.S. House of Representatives, 106th Congress
  Members Quick List - Committee on Resources - 106th Congress (1999-2000)

Jim Saxton, New Jersey ^3rd

Frank Pallone, Jr., New Jersey ^6th

Joseph Crowley, New York ^7th

• C.W. (Bill) Young (Florida) Chair Committee on Appropriations
  Subcommittees on Appropriations (See in particular Subcommittee on Interior, Ralph Regula (Ohio))

Maurice D. Hinchey, N.Y.

You should write to the chairs and subcommittee chairs, members in your state and also be sure to include your local congressperson.

In the Senate, Moynihan, Schumer and Torricelli have signed onto a letter to Lautenberg supporting LWCF. All four should be thanked for their support.
