Unfortunately, Congress is not so readily accessible and. except for citizens living near the nation's capital. opportunities for face-to-face lobbying on national legislation are limited - but the pen is close at hand. This pamphlet is designed to help all citizens make effective use of the pen in expressing their views to their senators and representatives. The following pages include suggested ways to write more effective letters. tips on when and how to write. and some sample approaches to letter writing. Also included are lists of congressional delegations by state and the major committee assignments. WHY WRITE? "If you are wondering whether or not it is really worthwhile to communicate your views to your own senator or representative in Congress. consider this fact: Others who disagree with you are doing so constantly ... "Your congressman is one person to whom your opinion definitely is important. With exceptions so rare that they are hardly worth mentioning, members of the National Congress positively do read their mail. Moreover. they are interested in its contents. The mood and tenor of the daily mail from home is a re ­ current topic of conversation among members when they gather in the cloakrooms in the rear of the House and Senate Chambers or around the coffee cups in the dining rooms of the Capitol." (You and Your Congress­ man by Congressman Jim Wright.) The mail is obviously of great importance to senators and representatives in determining thoughtful con­ stituent opinion. During the long congressional ses­ sions many do not get home as often as they would like and they depend on constituents' letters as a major way of "taking the pulse" back home. As a concerned citizen. you can be part of that "pulse." You may ask. "Does my letter really make a differ­ ence?" Your voice. like your vote. does count.

Now, let me take just a minute or two. As Howard said, I became President under somewhat difficult circum­ stances.
