Congo: Thank Congress for Pushing Conflict Minerals Legislation Forward!

The conference committee reconciling the House and Senate versions of federal financial reform legislation voted to retain – and even strengthen – Amendment 3997 (see page 3), addressing the conflict minerals issue. The House and Senate will soon vote on the full financial reform legislation – with this key language on conflict minerals included!  Thank you for all your phone calls and messages to key leaders in Congress!

Help us thank key legislators for their role in pushing conflict minerals language this far! Please call Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT) at 202-224-2823, Congressman Barney Frank at (202) 225-5931 and Congressman Howard Berman at 202-225-4695, or leave them a message on Facebook using the links above (you’ll have to click the “like” button on each page first). Thank them for working hard to ensure the inclusion and strengthening of conflict minerals language in federal financial reform legislation.
