TO ALL OREGONIANS:

Thank you for your e-mail. First of all, I'm sorry for this impersonal response -- I hate it when I get auto-responses to my e-mail, too. This will not be the only response you will receive from me.

Unfortunately, current Senate computer limitations and concerns about the privacy of messages sent via the Internet prevent me from answering constituent e-mails electronically. Therefore, I will respond to your original e-mail through the U.S. Postal Service. If you didn't give me your complete postal address information in your original e-mail, you can simply send me another message with that information attached.

TO ALL NON-RESIDENTS OF OUR STATE:

Due to heavy interest from Oregonians, I am unable to respond to e-mail from residents of other states. Out of Congressional courtesy, I would like to refer you to your home-state Senator to give him or her a chance to hear your concerns. For a list of Senators by state and their e-mail addresses, set your world wide web browser to:

SURF MY HOME PAGE

I would also like to invite everyone online to surf my home page at: http://www.senate.gov/~wyden/

It has, among other things, a wide variety of information on my work in the Senate, which I hope you will find useful.

Thanks again for contacting me.
