Many thanks for the heads up, Janet. Below are further details from the Association of American Universities web pages. http://www.tulane.edu/~aau/NewPostings.html SCHEDULE FOR TODAY AND NEXT WEEK as of Friday, September 8, 2000 "The Senate Labor/HHS/Education appropriations subcommittee Thursday held the sixth in a series of hearings on stem cell research. By all reports, not much new ground was covered in the hearing but panel chairman Arlen Specter (R-PA) did reiterate his intention to move his stem-cell bill, S. 2015, to the floor this month. Specter plans to hold another hearing next Thursday (September 14th). That hearing will be held at 9:30 a.m. (Eastern Time) in Room 216 of the Hart Senate office building. It is expected, but not yet confirmed, that witnesses will include Michael J. Fox, Jennifer Estess, and some other celebrity witnesses. "Meanwhile, Reps. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY)and Connie Morella (R- MD) will be cosponsoring a briefing in the House on the stem cell issue next Wednesday [Sept 13]. The briefing will be held at 3:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) in Room 2222 of the Rayburn House office building. Presenters will include Lana Skirboll, from the Office of the Director of the National Institutes of Health."
