Letter submitted by Sari Feldman and Norm Medeiros on behalf of the American Library Association and the Association for Library Collections & Technical Services (ALCTS) to the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Appropriations urging the the House Appropriations Committee to strike language in legislation just adopted by its Legislative Branch Subcommittee that would bar the Library of Congress (Library) from implementing an appropriate and thoroughly researched change in its subject heading classifications announced in late March of this year, specifically the replacement of the terms "Aliens" with "Noncitizens" and "Illegal aliens" with two headings: "Noncitizens" and/or "Unauthorized immigration"
