So let's see if we can get those lines buzzing, ladies and gentlemen!! -Grey GREY LEE SGA President 802/656-7736 B 156, Billings UVM Burlington, VT, 05405 ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 26 Feb 1996 16:17:32 -0500 (EST) From: NAGPS <[log in to unmask]> To: Multiple recipients of list <[log in to unmask]> Subject: National Call-In Day, March 6, 1996!! ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- February 26, 1996 Dear Friends of Education and Student Aid: NAGPS is a member of the Committee for Education Funding, a coalition of education associations devoted to full funding of education. Below is a CEF-organized event which is extremely important. With the current Continuing Resolution scheduled to expire on March 15, 1996, education programs, including many that affect higher education, are in danger of huge cuts. $3 billion could be cut from education programs in this Fiscal Year if Congress and the White House do not respond to our efforts. Please take a moment to publicize the attached announcement. ################################ NATIONAL EDUCATION CALL-IN DAY MARCH 6, 1996 The United States Congress is poised to make unprecedented cuts of $3 billion or more to education in 1996. This devastation of the country's national education priority is unacceptable. Please join the entire national education community by calling your Congressional representative and the White House. Please set aside just 5 minutes of your time on Wednesday, March 6, 1996, to call your US Representative and both your US Senators. You can reach them by dialing 800-574-4AID (Congressional Switchboard) and asking to be transferred to the appropriate office. Please also call the White House at (202) 456-1111. In all cases, ask to speak to the assistant who handles education. In your calls to your elected officials, urge that they: "Stop the Education Cuts and Secure America's Economic Future." ######################################## NAGPS further encourages you to specifically mention preserving graduate student financial aid programs, including student loans, the interest exemption on student loans, graduate fellowships like the Javits and Harris programs, and to extend PERMANENTLY Section 127 of the Internal Revenue Code so that employer-provided educational assistance is tax-free to grad students. Please alert us to any campus activities around this date. Thank you for your help! Sincerely, Kevin G.
