Just now called Jim Ryun's office - he said that they can help only after it gets out of the conference committee and comes onto the floor. Still he took down my message.
 
Called Sensenbrener (no answer), left VM for Lamar Smith, Spoke to Paul Ryan's Sec and gave my address/Tel, and spoke to Conyer's Sec.
 
My House progress report

Sensenbrenner: no VM, no staffer :confused:
Smith: left VM
Conyers: talked to staffer she will pass message on

Nussle: Staffer will pass message on, has received tons of calls Re: 8001
Ryun: staffer listened carefully, will pass on
Crenshaw: Staffer guessed that I was calling re: 8001, will pass on
Putnam: only serves FL, told me to talk to my Rep
Wicker: listened carefully, will pass on
Hulshof: told me to call my Rep
Ryan: very polite, will pass on
Blunt: Staffer very familiar with this issue, will pass on
DeLay: Staffer listened, will pass on
Spratt: Staffer said to call Republicans since they hold the whip hand
Royce: listened carefully, will pass on


Have to talk to the 3/4 Democrats left, and I will be done.


Here's to hoping everything ends well.
 
Are they going off the house version or the senate version?

The news below seems to indicate that they are going off the House version (which is a bit of a disappointment)

I've been following this thread for a long time & also trying to call, email, and fax people. If this goes through - I thank all of you for organizing this effort. If it doesn't, I will join even more strongly for the next round of fighting.




Before closing the meeting, the House floor passed the following Spratt motions for instructions to the House conferees which they had just appointed before the end of the meeting: To the maximum extent possible within the scope of the conference, the managers on the part of the House at the conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the House amendment to the bill S. 1932 be instructed to recede to the Senate by eliminating House provisions reducing eligibility for food stamps (sections 1601 and 1603 of the House amendment), and reducing funding for child support enforcement (sections 8319 and 8320 of the House amendment), and repealing the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset (the ``Byrd Amendment'' (section 8701 of the House amendment)) and modifying the Mining Law of 1872 (sections 6201 through 6207 of the House amendment); such managers be instructed to recede to the Senate by eliminating the sections of the House amendment that reduce Medicaid benefits and allow increases in beneficiary costs (sections 3111, 3112, 3113, 3114, 3115, 3121, 3122, 3123, 3124, 3125, 3134, and 3147 of the House amendment) and by reducing to the maximum extent possible increases in interest rates and fees paid by student and parent borrowers on student loans contained in sections 2115, 2116, and 2117 of the House amendment, and by adopting the Senate provisions concerning Pell grants (sections 7101 and 7102 of S. 1932); and such managers be instructed to recede to the Senate by adopting the Senate provision eliminating the stabilization fund that makes payments to Medicare Advantage Regional Plans (section 6112 of S. 1932), adopting the Senate provision on Medicare Advantage risk adjustment (section 6111 of S. 1932), and adopting the Senate provision on Medicare physician payments (section 6105 of S. 1932).
The meeting adjourned close to the mid-night. There is no information available about current activities of the Conference Committee this morning. Please stay tuned.
As was true with the Senate conferee instructions, the House instructions mean that the conferees need to follow the instructions in the negotiation with the Senate conferees

Does excluding dependents for visa numbers is still considered or dropped?

Thanks

That is still fine. Until otherwise the house says 8001 sud not be included we are fine as the sections not mentioned will be discussed by the Conference committee.
 
any way to obtain the instructions (although I know they are non-binding) given to the house conferees on this bill?
oh's website says the following; but if there is a way to confirm from another source and whether any specific instructions were given regarding the relevent sections of importance to us.

As far as I know, there were no instructions on 8001. The instructions only covered major controversies such as Medicare, Medicaid, Student Loans, Child Support and Food Stamps.

12/18/2005: Both Houses May Pass S. 1932 Without Immigration Packet Today

Unconfirmed sources indicate that in order to pass the negotiated S. 1932 in the House that has adamantly opposed the immigration bill as part of the budget reconciliation bill, the House leadership has reportedly negotiated and agreed to take out the immigration packet from the S. 1932, and both the House and the Senate may pass the finally negotiated S. 1932 bill today.
