     FWIW, the American Library Association has a web site at www.ala.org.
Its privacy policy is at www.ala.org/home/privacystatement.htm, and there
is also a link to some ALA political action pages at www.capwiz.com/ala/home,
which includes links on the topics of National Security Letter oversight
