I recommend that when you contact your Representative that you refer to the
"National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2002." This will be more
clear than referring to the Bill(s) by number.
However, in case they ask, here are the bill numbers and what you may wish to
say (I copied this from letters I sent to my Senators and my Representative):
<snip>
I oppose the wording in Section 1062 of Senate Bill 1438. This section also
appears in Senate Bills 1419 and 1416. Section 1062 also appears in S.1155
as Section 921. I recommend Section 1062 be removed from S.1438. It should
be removed from all other versions of the Bills.
This text, the "AUTHORITY TO ENSURE DEMILITARIZATION OF SIGNIFICANT MILITARY
EQUIPMENT FORMERLY OWNED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE" appears in the
following Bills:
S.1438 -- National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2002
[S.1438.PCS],
S.1419 -- Department of Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2002
[S.1419.PCS],
S.1416 -- National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2002
[S.1416.PCS], and
H.R. 2586 -- National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2002
[H.R.2586.RH]
The text of this Section is the same as that removed from last year's Floyd
D. Spence National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001
[H.R.4205.RH].
<end of snip> etc.
I have included a couple of ways to contact your Senators and your
Representatives below.
First from a post to the list by Floyd Petri:

[MV] VFW and S1416

Use this address for your Senators: http://www.senate.gov/ find "List
Senators by State" and double click on it. Find your Senators by State and
double click on their name. Their page comes up. Now find their email
address and email them. Separately of course. Also you must put all your
information at the bottom of the letter because they will not read and take
serious any letter without it because so many of them are alike. They need
to know that you are a real person and sometimes they call or email to check
to see.
Here is the address for the Congress: http://www.house.gov/writerep/ just
double click on it and then put in your state and zip code. Get your
Representatives name and edit the above letter to fit a Representative in
stead of a Senator.

Another way is to use the following link:

Hope this helps.
