VT 05701 l802) 773-38 75 I received your letter concerning H.J.Res. 244, a resolution which authorizes the President to convene a 1989 White House Conference on Library and Information Services. I am a co-sponsor of the resolution. Enactment of this resolution will insure grass roots involvement by the American public including library users, civic leaders, lawmakers, libraries and others in identifying unmet library service needs, and examining library and information services. I believe this conference will serve an important purpose in the improvement of our Nation's library and information services. On April 8, 1986, the Subcommittee on Postsecondary Education held hearings on the resolution. No further action has been taken on-this bill to date. Given the timeliness of the resolution, I am optimistic it will receive complete consideration by the end of the 99th Congress. Thank you for your letter, I will keep your support in mind as we continue to consider . Jeffords JMJ:RD/jd THIS STATIONERY PRINTED ON PAPER MADE WITH RECYCLED FIBERS ' ~.
