The letter did not address any particular legislation. In August 2012, FIRE also corresponded with the congressional offices of Members of Congress who had written to Vanderbilt University to express concern about a policy the University adopted preventing belief based organizations from obtaining official university recognition, unless they allowed any student--even those who disagreed with organizations' core mission--to serve as leaders of those organizations. FIRE wrote these offices to inform them of an online video FIRE produced challenging the Vanderbilt policy. A similar correspondence was sent in September to the offices of Members of Congress who are in the Congressional Prayer Caucus.	HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES			0	0	2012-10-18T16:00:41.717000-04:00
