Press Conference on Pennsylvania House Bill 209

At a press conference held today at the state capitol, Representative
McGeehan and Representative Belfanti discussed how House Bill 209 was
amended to eliminate the mandatory requirement for sprinklers in residence
halls, along with other significant changes.  Participating in the press
conference was Gerald Naylis from New Jersey, who was instrumental in the
passage of the landmark legislation in that state, and Ed Comeau, publisher
of Campus Firewatch.  More details will be contained in the April issue of
