Dear Mr. Hartman,

  Thank you for taking the time to contact my office with your thoughts

about legislation that creates specific laws and regulations regarding

online poker, specifically H.R. 2610 and H.R. 2046. Your input is

important to me, and I appreciate the time you took to share your thoughts.

  I understand the importance of creating such laws based on the

growing popularity of online poker in Tennessee and throughout the nation.

H.R. 2610 would exempt online poker and other games in which success is

predominantly based on skill from federal criminal laws as long as

certain regulatory measures are met. H.R. 2046 would create an Internet

Gambling Licensing Program that would set requirements for the licensing of

internet betting or waging.

  Currently there is not companion legislation in Senate. Should

similar bills come before the Senate, I will certainly keep your thoughts in

mind.

  Thank you again for your letter. I hope you will continue to share

your thoughts with me as I serve you in the United States Senate.

Sincerely,

Bob Corker

United States Senator
