Hopefully this will pass and if it does, then it is important to
find out when the committee meets and to attend meetings and
supply written materials which reasonably and persuasively make
the case for having  FOSS considered whenever software is being
acquired.

This is also where having a recognized organization is helpful
just to sound like a broken record again. 

Study committees are interesting groups.  While hearings before
committees that are considering legislation can often be if not
long, at least large and contentious; study committees often
operate below the radar screen.  This has good and bad features,
but it does provide the opportunity, for good or bad,  for
individuals and small groups to have a major impact.
