The continuing resolution (House Joint Resolution 13) lasts until February 7. This action will give the conference committee more time to reconcile the differences between the House and Senate versions of the fiscal year 2003 omnibus appropriations bill. While we have heard that the House is expected to oppose the Senate's 2.9% across-the-board cuts, that doesn't mean Even Start funding will be spared. We must continue to contact Members of Congress and encourage them to accept the House position of $250 million for Even Start. The following is a list of the conferees who have been assigned to this conference committee: HOUSE: Representatives Young (FL), Regula (OH), Rogers (KY), Wolf (VA), Kolbe (AZ), Walsh (NY), Taylor (NC), Hobson (OH), Istook (OK), Bonilla (TX), Knollenberg (MI), Kingston (GA), Obey (WI), Murtha (PA), Dicks (WA), Sabo (MN), Mollohan (WV), Kaptur (OH), Visclosky (IN), Lowey (NY), Serrano (NY), and Moran (VA). SENATE: Senators Stevens (AK), Cochran (MS), Specter (PA), Domenici (NM), Bond (MO), McConnell (KY), Burns (MT), Shelby (AL), Gregg (NH), Bennett (UT), Campbell (CO), Craig (ID), Hutchison (TX), DeWine (OH), Brownback (KS), Byrd (WV), Inouye (HI), Hollings (SC), Leahy (VT), Harkin (IA), Mikulski (MD), Reid (NV), Kohl (WI), Murray (WA), Dorgan (ND), Feinstein (CA), Durbin (IL), Johnson (SD), Landrieu (LA).
