The House Appropriations Committee has scheduled a recission hearing 
for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) for next Thursday, 
January 19.  Recission is a reduction in already appropriated funds.  
We understand that the Committee hopes to finalize a bill by the end 
of January.  It is unclear whether the focus will be entirely on FY 
1995 funding or if FY 1996 and 1997 funding will also be discussed.

All interested parties should increase their efforts to generate mail, 
faxes and email to their Members of Congress.  A list follows of states 
whose Representatives serve on the House Appropriations Committee:

John Porter (R-IL) Chairman
C.W. Bill Young (R-FL) 
Henry Bonilla (R-TX)
Ernest Jim Istook (R-OK)
Dan Miller (R - FL)
Jay Dickey (R-AR)
Frank Riggs (R-CA)
Roger Wicker (R-MS)
David Obey (D-WI)
Louis Stokes (D-OH)
Steny Hoyer (D-MD)
Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)
Nita Lowey (D-NY)

Please remember to let us know how your efforts are going.  Look here 
later today for a sample letter, talking points and updates as they 
come in.

Remember, phone numbers for these and other Reps/Sens can be found by 
calling Congressional Information at 202/224-3121.
