reported on the move by federal prisons to ban all non-approved religious
texts from prison libraries. AdvanceUSA has learned that RSC Chairman Jeb
Hensarling (R-TX), VAT Chairman Joe Pitts (R-PA), and Rep. Don Manzullo (R-IL)
have sent a letter to Mr. Harley Lappin, the Director of the Federal Bureau of
Prisons, to ask that an inquiry be made into this possible breach of the free
exercise of religion.
