I got a rush mailing from Circle Network News today which contains the names, addresses and telephone numbers of the senators and probable representatives appointed to the conference committee on HR 3036, which is the bill to which is attached Jesse Helms' cute little attack on Satanism, witchcraft and sorcery. It is suggested that phone calls, hand-written letters or individually typed letters carry the most weight, and should be brief and to the point, requesting that Amendment 705 be removed from HR 3036. It's also suggested that people contact their senators (DC switchboard (202) 224-3121 will have their addresses & phones), say they are constituents, and inquire whether the senator was present for the voice vote which attached Amendment 705 to HR 3036, and how they voted. Tell them to pressure people on the Conference Committee to remove Amendment 705 and oppose any similar measure that may be considered now and in the future such as Robert Walker's bill (HR 3389). The following are the Senators and representatives of the Conference Committee (Representative appointments were not yet confirmed as of this mailing). ARIZONA: Dennis DeConcini, 326 Dirksen, Wash. DC 20510; (202) 224-4521. CALIFORNIA: Ed Roybal, 2211 Rayburn, Wash. DC 20515; (202) 225-6235 (Chairperson of Committee). Bill Lowery, 1440 Longworth, Wash. DC 20515; (202) 225-3201.
