<p class="MsoNormal">The House Appropriations Bill with language to restrict the Library of Congress from making changes to the “Illegal aliens” and “Aliens” subject headings will be debated in the House on Friday morning. There were multiple late amendments
suggested concerning the LCSH issue. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Debbie Wasserman Schultz had put forth an amendment to provide for the restatement of the Library of Congress' existing policy regarding certain Subject Headings. Joaquin Castro also suggested an amendment, and posted his testimony on his
Facebook page if you want to see it: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/JoaquinCastroTX/" target="_blank">
https://www.facebook.com/JoaquinCastroTX/</a>. There was an amendment on the other side explicitly to prevent the replacement of the LCSH terms put forth by John Fleming and Paul Gosar. You can find full text of all the amendments online at
<a href="https://rules.house.gov/bill/114/hr-5325" target="_blank">https://rules.house.gov/bill/114/hr-5325</a> (items 12, 25, 26, and 31).<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, the ALA Washington Office told us this morning that the House Rules Committee met last night and voted NOT to permit any amendments concerning the Library's subject headings to the Appropriations Bill.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">ALCTS will continue to work with the ALA Washington Office and watch how the issue progresses in the fall. This House bill may remain relevant, or Congress could instead pass a special Resolution simply continuing to fund the government
at present levels. If we don’t end up in a continuing funding situation, then we'll need to lobby Senators to make sure that LCSH language isn't inserted into their bill on the Senate floor and to insist that the LCSH language be stripped from any unified
(or "conferenced") version of the Legislative Branch appropriations bill before sending it to the President.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Emily Sheketoff from the ALA Washington Office will be visiting the ALCTS Board around 4pm on Monday, and she’ll be updating us on this issue. Conference attendees are welcome to attend any ALCTS Board meeting, they will be held:<u></u><u></u></p>
