[My address]


Dear Mr. Z:

Thank you for getting in touch with me to express your views
regarding HR 4777, to expand and modernize the prohibition
against interstate gambling, and for other purposes. I am
currently not a cosponsor of this legislation. As a member of
Congress, knowing your thoughts helps me to better represent all
my fellow Tennesseans here in Washington.

As the House of Representatives addresses a wide range of issues
in the 109th Congress, I want to convey to you how much I
appreciate your involvement and participation and I will certainly
keep your sentiments in mind. In Congress, I work very hard to
promote legislation and policies that will improve the quality of
life for all Tennesseans as I support initiatives to help create jobs,
improve educational opportunities for our children, and preserve
the national security, health and well-being of all American
citizens. I hope you will continue to contact me to express your
views on the many issues facing our nation and the U.S.
Congress.

If you need additional information or assistance, please do not
hesitate to contact me or my office. I look forward to hearing
from you again in the future.
Sincerely,

Jim Cooper
Member of Congress
