I do not wish to start a debate but I simply cannot let unsubstantiated misconceptions continue to proliferate without rebuttal. Let me state for you the facts of the matter. Number one, President Bush has named a head of the National institutes of Health after a protracted period where the previous administration had left the post unfilled. Number two, President Bush has proposed in his last three budgets increases in spending at the NIH. The previous the administration had actually cut funding at the National institutes of Health. Number three, it is the Senate that failed to pass an appropriations bill for fiscal year to the 2003, which by the way it began last October 1st. I am not trying to create an argument, but I believe that this President is doing something about Parkinson's disease.
