> Dear MCHR members:
> As you likely read in the papers this morning, the Dept of Defense  
> Authorization bill was pulled from the floor before a vote could be  
> held on the amendment to add the DREAM Act to this legislation.   
> The Defense bill is expected to be debated again in September.  It  
> is also possible that Senators Hagel, Durbin, and Lugar will seek  
> other opportunities to move the DREAM Act as a stand-alone bill or  
> an amendment.  Thank you to everyone who made calls.  We will keep  
> you updated on future actions.
> Best regards, Tara
