    Hi everyone,

     

    The May edition of AALL's Washington E-Bulletin
    <http://www.aallnet.org/aallwash/ebulletin0509.pdf> is now available on
    AALLNET. This month, the Government Relations Office reviews the White
    House's new Open Government Initiative; provides you with an update on
    the recent efforts of AALL and our New York chapters to support
    legislation to provide access to Congressional Research Service reports;
    and summarizes President Obama's new Memorandum on classified and
    sensitive but unclassified information. In chapter news, we include a
    summary of the joint letter SNELLA and AALL sent to the Connecticut
    Appropriations Committee to oppose the proposed elimination of
    acquisitions funding for Connecticut Judicial Branch Law Libraries. And
    of course, we provide you with plenty to explore in the "Free Time Well
    Spent" section to guarantee you'll never get bored!

     

    Please take a look at our latest E-Bulletin and feel free to send me any
    comments or questions.

     

    Thanks,
