Thanks, guys. Thanks to Transterrestrial Musings, Mike at Knowledge Problem, Razib at Gene Expression, Random Mentality, Mossback's Lunch, The Laughing Wolf, Unqualified Offerings, and Under the Sun for getting out the word on the proposed stealth amendment to NAGPRA.

UPDATE: Pleased to add Overlawyered to the list this morning.

If I missed you, let me know.

UPDATE II: Also of interest is the response received by a citizen who expressed his opposition via a voice mail message to the Senate Indian Affairs Committee, from Lee Frazier (listed as "Majority Professional Staff" for the committee):

"I received your voicemail. S.2843 is still pending floor action. The Senate is recessed now and will be until Nov. 16. I expect we will try to pass the bill again after that date, probably by unanimous consent."

Nothing to see here folks, move along. That link is an email address - hint, hint. It's also been suggested to me that it might be a good idea to phone, fax, or email the Senate Majority leader to urge holding back S.2843:

Bill Frist:

Phone:
Washington:
202-224-3344
202-228-1264 (fax)

Nashville:
