*Advocacy Alert: *Take action today to oppose a transfer of authority from
the Librarian of Congress to the President

Dear Stephanie:

With fewer than two weeks left in this congressional session, we face
serious threats on the U.S. Copyright Office and Library of Congress.

On Wednesday, December 12, the Register of Copyrights Selection and
Accountability Act (S. 1010
<http://cqrcengage.com/ala/app/thru?ep=AAAAC2Flc0NpcGhlcjAxIz0puwWAFK30WnOAglfJT_8WVIMZqqHrAdgpeOmiUFWqkKm48yoOPp-BZXpSFDdYB5XWbdeP65tk8pOKt9fB9LA4ZxrKYMYo1lbv1a1XEuFPgi2mEjT9Vy7Ue0ClZ3S0RT7W-bXWN2GU4YP7YzeR6iEzYpzO1Rh9aBnbUhhta9o&lp=0>),
a Senate companion to the already-passed House bill (H.R. 1695
<http://cqrcengage.com/ala/app/thru?ep=AAAAC2Flc0NpcGhlcjAxnp1h_borxwYvAG1ouCBleZJSM436DZdcJdyp02GmC4rl5k9VgUHOBYjNXNft4TWWRLbjYZKM7Tjz3rAF0fPW-2gALE2crH8VLIoQdKTDEPPUYslfF3BQhcH4GhmdGcxzEuJyzvrhH0j60TFupAlFVtjEmASUU_484YEpgKqmfbo&lp=0>)
will be voted on by the Senate Rules and Administration Committee, in spite
of strong opposition by ALA and others in the library community. There is
intense industry pressure to pass this legislation in the lame duck
session, even though this would take authority away Dr. Hayden and give it
to the President.

*ALA strongly opposes this bill

We urge you to contact your U.S. Senators now
<https://cqrcengage.com/ala/app/take-action?engagementId=490753&ep=AAAAC2Flc0NpcGhlcjAxURbzLnIssFLdVagdHV4Q1REHKnrMdCab_n7UqTTcffcEjUTn8sdQ2ImRY89uJJ1C1CS3UiQaWOkJzA_AHLpz7tLcc2BlNVR_YWillowYEkc&lp=0>
to express your personal opposition and ask them to vote against it.*

We must keep Congress from undermining Dr. Hayden and her leadership. Make
your voice heard for the Library of Congress and libraries everywhere--for
Dr. Hayden, a past-president of ALA.
