The National Parkinson Foundation does not, has not and will never sell or give away names on our mailing list. There is very limited access, even among staff, to that list. As a patient service, the National Parkinson Foundation mailed out the rebate coupons so that people on Sinemet CR could get the $15.00 rebate from DuPont. As a letter from our Chairman, Mr. Slewett, was included and the envelope's return address was NPF, it is clear that the mailing list names were not sold to another group. Sincerely, Bonnie Cunningham, R.N. Patient Services Director National Parkinson Foundation, Inc.

In it I found a flyer for a "Prescription Rebate Program" from DuPont Pharmaceuticals. This is for Sinemet CR and offers a $15.- rebate. Now, I don't mind getting such a rebate but it sounds like one is selling one's name to a mailing list or many lists. This is not indicated on the flyer but should have been. If the name is not used for a mailing list then the flyer should have such a disclaimer. Does the NPF get any money from DuPont for this? K-F Etzold cg Carline
