GOP blocks push to cap House committee mailings
The Republican led House rejected a Democrat backed plan to cap committee mailing funds for 2003 and 2004. Rep. Brad Sherman argued the Resources Committee sought 500000, while Republicans said the panel's mail budget stood at about 50000 for two years. House leadership defended bipartisan decisions and noted lawmakers' mail, staff, and district costs are funded from individual accounts averaging about 1 million per member district.
