Dear Jim; Congratulations on the Dorros Award.-well deserved' You introduced me to "ourlist" via Tony Fazio whom you met in Washington lst May. Dear Jim, You helped me join "our list" last May at the suggestion of Tony Fazio. Tony has been working assiduously all summer long, and still is in there pitching. I am on his committee. Through my GRATEFUL MED and MEDLARS ,I research the literature almost daily. I also E-mailed, FAXed, and wrote letters to my representative and Senators, as well as several chairmen of committes, the Director of NIH, Dr Harold Varmus )who sent my letter to Carol Brown of the NINDS.who sent me some favorable literature. I mention my activities only to say how deeply gratifying it is to receive responses from so many. I feel that our work is most assuredly being noticed, given consideration, and is affecting the thinking of the members of our legislature. (Goodness ! this note is lenghtening !!) WE are not discouraged. (Well,maybe a littlethat Congress dawdled soon Medicare et al). There many plusses ... we MUST carry on. (My represeentative Eliot Engel, Dist 17 the Bronx,co-sponsored.).
