RE: MEETINGS WITH MEMBERS OF CONGRESS
__________________________________________________________
The Institute's Legislative Affairs Department is requesting
important information concerning your willingness to meet with
Members of Congress on behalf of the mutual fund industry.
Congressional meetings are an indispensable part of the
Institute's communication network with Congress. These meetings
provide an excellent opportunity for Congress to hear directly
from you about the impact of particular legislative issues on the
mutual fund industry. Those of you who have met with Members of
Congress on behalf of the Institute know that member participation
can make a distinct and positive contribution to the legislative
process.
The information requested on the attached form will help us
to schedule Congressional contacts with Institute members. Some
Congressional visits will be scheduled during the week of our
General Membership Meeting in May. Other visits will be scheduled
for convenient dates in the future.
I assure you that the information you provide will be used
for internal organizational purposes only. Under no circumstances
will any Member of Congress be contacted on your behalf without
your permission or prior consultation.
Please complete and return the attached survey form to
Kathleen Bovello, Director of Communications for Legislative
Affairs, at your earliest convenience. Your cooperation is
greatly appreciated. If you have any questions, please do not
hesitate to call me at 202/955-3544.
