All,

Flagging once more the attached group sign-on letter in support of the SAVE Right Whales Act (S. 2453<https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/senate-bill/2453?q=%7B%22search%22%3A%5B%22s.+2453%22%5D%7D&s=1&r=1>), which is scheduled to receive a markup<https://www.commerce.senate.gov/2019/11/executive-session> in Senate Commerce at 10:00 am tomorrow (11/13). This letter is nearly identical to the support letter on the House companion (H.R. 1568), it has simply been updated to include the Senate bill number and recent stats on the right whale population. As such, we will continue to list your group on the letter unless you indicate otherwise.

Please let me know by 3:00 pm today (11/12) if you would like your org name removed from the letter. If your organization is not yet on the letter and would like to join, please use this form<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfv0mdn57Jdtnt7cwua8UwDTHJtCw9ZR5RjefXX16NGkAEwhw/viewform?usp=sf_link> to sign on by the deadline. Current signers listed below.

Please note: we made a few small additional changes to the letter to better reflect the most recent North Atlantic right whale population threats and stats.

Thank you,
Nora
