Please call Chairman Goodling

Commercial Alert				April 12, 2000

Anti-privacy lobbyists appear to be trying to weaken or strip Rep.
Miller's student privacy amendment out of the Education Options Act (HR
4141). 

House Education Committee Chairman Goodling is very important right now.
Chairman Goodling voted against the student privacy amendment.  He needs
to hear from those of us who want to protect children from privacy
invasion by corporate marketers.

Please contact Chairman Goodling as soon as possible. Please ask him not
to weaken or strip Rep. Miller's student privacy amendment from the
Education Options Act.  Chairman Goodling's phone is (202) 225-5836, or
send email to the House Education Committee's chief of staff, Kevin
Talley, at <Kevin.Talley@mail.house.gov>. Thanks.
