Senator J. James Exon, Democrat, Nebraska is ranking minority member of the budget committee and will head the Democrats group in drafting a workable budget for presentation under the new approach announced yesterday.... Senator Exon has been approached repeatedly by the NE PD groups and he has never responded with more than a perfunctory form letter to our requests. His office staff however is quite friendly and supportive. Maybe the time has come for any and all of you active in the Udall Bill movement to copy Sen Exon on some of your mail to the senate......... He is not going for re election......he supports medical research in general. Has grave concerns over budget deficit. Let's keep him aware of the PD community. Rita Weeks
