| Transcript | Rhonda appeared at the January 20th state council meeting to report on her activities. She had actually begun her job on January 85 she attended inauguration ceremonies in order to familiarize members of the legislature with N.O.W.'s new lobbyist. Rhonda also informed th^e at the meeting about several measures presently under consideration by the legislature such as possible ERA rescission bills, proposed abortion restriction legislation, and the discontinuation of funding for committees which look into displaced homemaker concerns. She also reported having an appointment with an aide to Rep. Senfronia Thompson to give N.O.W.'s input into future rape legislation. In addition, Rhonda has met members of the Black Caucus and secured a committment of support for women's issues. Having a N.O.W. lobbyist in Austin is an exciting and tremendous step forward in the growth of feminism in Texas. It is a means of getting needed information to our legislators in order for them to vote intelligently on feminist issues. Several members of the legislature have already informed Rhonda that having a lobbyist heighten" their opinion of N.OW. With our support, she may prove to be a valuable intermediary for the exchange of information between Texas feminists and the lawmaking body. Toward that end, she is now busy preparing briefs on N.O.W.'s positions on various issues. We here in Houston say welcome to Rhonda Belt and wish her success.
