<TT><TT>Dear Mr. Blonde:

Thank you for contacting me regarding the Internet Gambling Prohibition
Act. I appreciate hearing from you and having the benefit of your
views.

On February 16, 2006, Representative Bob Goodlatte of Virginia
introduced H.R. 4777, the Internet Gambling Prohibition Act. H.R. 4777 has
been referred to the House Judiciary Committee. As a member of the
Senate, I will not have the opportunity to vote on H.R. 4777 in its current
form. Should this bill come before the full Senate, I will be sure to
keep your views in mind.

Thank you again for contacting me. If I can be of further assistance
with this or any other matter, please feel free to call on me again.
Sincerely,

Rick Santorum
United States Senate</TT></TT>
