Good Morning All, Yesterday I wrote.... I fear that NIH Funding (and Research, Clinical Trials) may be delayed this year as the focus has shifted to DoD.... When I checked the "Current Status of FY2001Appropriations Bills" I was alarmed at the note: Last update: Mon, 10 Sep 2001 14:55:04 GMT http://thomas.loc.gov/home/approp/appover2001.html This was a "faux pas"... I shoulda looked at FY2002! Status of FY2002 Appropriations Bills Last update: 09/27/2001 08:41:17 PASSED BY CONGRESS: 0 of 13 ; SIGNED INTO LAW: 0 of 13 http://thomas.loc.gov/home/approp/appover.html Oh, I was just a year out... Now I feel much bedda... Seriously... Are we going to wait until it's too late to do anything? Don't we have goals and principles that we want advanced? I know there are military actions, major layoffs in the airline and tourism industries and aid and rebuilding etc. but we have an infrastructure that must not be abandoned even in these troubled times... We need some direction... Where are the Parkinson's organizations? And, I repeat... Where is Tommy Thompson? We need to speak to this man!
