Good afternoon. I wanted to follow up on yesterday's email that 
provided information from CEC regarding the budget resolution passed by 
the Senate Budget Committee. CEC is reporting today that Senators 
Specter (R-PA) and Harkin (D-IA) plan to offer an amendment to the 
resolution that would call for an additional $7 billion in funding for 
education and healthcare. CEC i s requesting that members contact their 
Senators and ask them support the Specter-Harking amendment. This can 
easily be done by visiting CEC's Legislative Action Center 
(http://capwiz.com/cek/home/) and clicking on the Action Alert. You can 
send the prepared text or personalize with your own message. Thank you.

Sarah Hadden
DEC Governmental Relations Committee
