RTK.NET Mail 164645 Jun 14 14:34:21 1996 While making appointments Congressman Owen Pickett's Legislative Assisstant informed me that while he was likely to support the bill, he will not seriously study it or become a cosponsor unless he gets constituent requests. If you are from Virginia's second District (Norfolk and Virginia Beach are the major areas) or have friends or family there, please call, write, and/or FAX his office ASAP--it will help our meeting on Wednesday if he gets some constituent requests beforehand. His D.C. phone is (202) 225-4215, FAX is (202) 225-4218. It will only take 1 or 2 phone calls to make the difference between an "I'll look over these materials if it comes to a vote" and a "He'll look into cosponsoring right away".
