One resolution calls for legislative <br />action. The other similar resolution requests that your state association support continued <br />cooperative purchasing of vehicles. <br /> <br />Action Requested-Your governing body's adoption of both resolutions would be very helpful. <br />Please send the state association resolution to the appropriate person dealing with your state <br />association's legislative program. Please send the other resolution to H-GAC. I am also sending <br />a fact sheet about the program for your use. Please contact me if you have questions oar would <br />like more information. <br /> <br />IS/mw <br /> <br />Enclosures <br /> <br />o <br />RlIcyI:Ied <br />
