My name is Dennis Albaigh and I am the Chief Fiscal Officer and Vice
President for Comic Relief, Inc.  Over the past few years, we have raised
over 1 mill. dollars for health care services for homeless people through
our telemarketing efforts.  We use the phone to ask previous donors to renew
their support as well as to make special gifts for situations that arise
during the year.  Replacing this income would be impossible.  A national Do
Not Call list that inhibits our ability to communicate with our own donors
would have a crushing negative impact on our mission.

We ask that if a national Do Not Call list is put in place that it contain an exemption for prior
relationships.  Thank you for your time.
