Sorry about not responding previously. I've been having some problems with my E-Mail. The biggest need from the New England area are the two Senators on Kassebaum's Labor and Human Resources Committee: James Jeffords, Republican, Vermont Judd Gregg, Republican, New Hampshire With 29 Senators now cosponsors we would have a good opportunity at passing the Senate if we could get the bill out of committee. Although Kassebaum held hearings on reauthorization of NIH, and the Udall Bill was the center of much discussion, nothing came of it. If we'd are going to get the Udall Bell passed in 1996, we have got to get it out of this committee. Of course Senator Kennedy is the ranking minority member and if he was so inclined to push hard for this bill that also might work. "'96 the Year We Pass the Udall Bill"
