Hello USGLC Board Members,

As expected, Rand Paul is causing us problems - and the votes are expected tomorrow (Friday.)  The Senate is in the midst of 50 hours of debate on the FY2014 Budget and Paul has already filed a half a dozen cutting amendments to the International Affairs Budget and we are expecting more by morning.  Senator Mike Lee also has an amendment to zero out the Export-Import Bank.  While we don't expect to lose (though we are taking nothing for granted) we want to stop Senators from making it a habit to support Paul and Lee on these amendments.  We are now in full organizational mobilization.   Tod Preston will be emailing board members directly to ask you to reach out to select Senators.

In the meantime, please call me if you have any questions or ideas.  I thank you ahead of time for your help.

Liz
