    Exclamation FRTIB and ETAC

    FRTIB phone 202-942-1660

    I called the above number and the receptionist said the Dave Toro handles external affairs and he will call me back. I will update after I hear something.

    We may need to do a mass calling on this number to get their attention.

    Stand by.

    I made a buddy of mine aware of this who works for Congress on the Hill. I'll see if i can get him fired up about it so maybe he can mention it to some big wigs. I will be writing some letters here soon too when I get a chance later in the week. All this information is great, keep up the good work!

    Or you can call 202-942-1660 to get FRTIB direct.

    I'm still waiting on my call back from FRTIB about who the 15 members are on the Employee Thrift Advisory Counsel.

    Exclamation Re: What YOU can do to fight back - IFT limit

    I will add that Dave Toro at FRTIB was very helpful. Thanks Dave!

    Also, he informed me that there is a period before proposed changes are made permanent that you are allowed to voice your concern. We need to speak up quickly. I will try to find the time line.

    Today is Nov. 28 at 1:30 mountain time. I called Rick Brown's office. His secretary said my call was only the second call received concerning the issue of limiting IFT. If we want this thing to work, we ALL have to take action. Otherwise, we'll all get what we don't want.

    OK the links do not work. Here is where you need to go.

    https://www.fido.gov/facadatabase/public.asp

    Click "Committees Search"

    In the field "Search for Committee by Name or Number" type "Employee Thrift Advisory Council" then click members.

    Apparently I can not paste links to the actual pages. Sorry.

    I'm working on it and will get back to ya when I have them all.

    As far as the time line goes there is not one set in motion as of now, but it is HIGHLY recommended that letters be sent to the FRTIB before the changes take place. We need to send letters to the 15 members of the ETAC too. I WILL find the contact info. on them, but first I have to pick my son up from school. See ya.

    Guys........just scroll back a page or two on this thread and you will find a lot of the info. you are looking for! This is something I posted there a few days ago. It gives contact info. for the chairman and vice-chairman of the ETAC. If you have time to contact all 15 members of ETAC, great.....but at least contact these two gentlemen and let them know how you feel. I have sent snail-mail letters to both of them, and also e-mailed Brown:
    __________________________________________________ ____________

    Here is the information about two members of the Employee Thrift Advisory Board.

    The chairman is Sauber, and vice-chairman is Brown.

    The ETAC is a 15-member group, consisting of union and management representatives, that advises the FRTIB on matters related to the TSP. Gregory Long, Executive Director of FRTIB, was quoted as saying they (FRTIB) would need to discuss the proposed IFT restrictions with ETAC before it was finalized.

    Therefore, I think we really need to flood these two gentlemen with our calls and faxes.
