Hi, Senator Carol Moseley Braun from IL wrote me back she supports the Udall Bill with more money for Parkinson's Disease, but she didn't say she would cosponsor. She said the 1996 budget request increases funding for PD research to $73.8 million. She also invited me to constituent coffee which is held every Thursday at 8:30 a.m. when the Senate is in session. She said to contact Elisabeth Mills at (202) 224-2854. Unfortunately I won't be in Washington anytime soon. I also heard from Representative J. Dennis Hastert. He said the Labor/HHS Appropriations bill had been passed which increased funding for the NIH to $11.9 billion an increase of $642 million over last year. I think that was the same funding Senator Braun had talked about - not the Morris K Udall Parkinson's Research, Assistance and Education Act. Am I correct? I feel like I'm getting the runaround.
