                                 <div><p>The ALA Washington is getting word from the Hill that a possible amendment to the House Financial Services Appropriations bill that would limit the Federal Communication Commission’s (FCC) ability to increase funding to the Federal E-rate programs has been withdrawn. Please see<a href="http://www.districtdispatch.org/2014/07/possible-amendment-damaging-e-rate-expected-soon/"><font color="#0066cc"> Monday’s </font></a>District Dispatch post.</p>
<p>Sources in the House Democratic Leadership tell ALA that the majority chose not to proceed with the amendment due to widespread opposition from the library and school community.</p><p>Thank you to everyone that made calls to their House Member to defeat this amendment.</p>
