Suggested points to cover when writing to Congress were provided by the Natl. NOW Legislative Liaison in Washington, DC. Should you care to do so, language from the Natl. NOW resolution that just passed may be quoted WITH THE UNDERSTANDING that the resolution is still officially in draft form, has not been finalized & released, &, has yet to be posted on the Natl. NOW website. (Copy of resolution follows.) Brief letters are more likely to be read.

I want to assure you that the resolution DID pass by a unanimous vote of "the body" (all members eligible to vote) at the 1999 Natl. NOW Conference. However, all resolutions must be reviewed by the Natl. NOW Board, &, checked for "policy content," spelling, grammar, etc., before they are formally released.

You may notice the absence of the words "informed consent" in the resolution, although language having the same meaning was included. The phrase "informed consent" was not used due to it's strong association with another political group.
