The summer recess seemed like a good time to
up-date the Legislation "Watchlists" and I have
enclosed a copy.
You may notice that I have broadened the
scope of the lists somewhat to cover some
legislation of interest to us as insurers. I may
want to expand it even further by adding a
separate list for insurance generally. I would
then switch to the new list items like the
McCarran-Ferguson repealers, pension bills, etc.
If you have any items that you would like covered,
let me know.
Hope you had a chance to get away for a
while. I'll give you a call soon to get together.
Sincerely,
rge L. Cary
Legislative Counsel
