YOUR DO NOT CALL LIST REGISTRY MAY NEED TO BE RENEWED NEXT YEAR

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

DC EXAMINER - The cherished dinner hour void of telemarketers could
vanish next year for millions of people when phone numbers begin
dropping off the national Do Not Call list. The Federal Trade
Commission, which oversees the list, says there is a simple fix. But
some lawmakers think it is a hassle to expect people to re-register
their phone numbers every five years.

Numbers placed on the registry, begun in June 2003, are valid for five
years. For the millions of people who signed onto the list in its early
days, their numbers will automatically drop off beginning next June if
they do not enroll again. . .  Rep. Mike Doyle, D-Pa., says people
should not be forced to re-register to keep telemarketers at bay. Doyle
introduced legislation this week, with bipartisan support, to make
registrations permanent.

People can register their home and cell phone numbers or file complaints
at http://www.donotcall.gov or by calling 1-888-382-1222.
