The book 'The Case of the Frozen Addicts', written by J William
Langston MD, only just now came to my attention. It is required reading
for every person with any interest in Parkinson's disease. In fact, I
decided that Congress, especially Representative Michael Bilirakis, who
is or should be interested in Parkinson's disease, should be required to
read the book.
I have sent the following fax message, suitably edited for the
particular recipient, to the following list of congressional leaders and
my own Senators and my own Representative. I suggest that every person
on the PARKINSN list do the same.
The Honorable Edwin M Partridge
Frank R Wolf 7706 Falstaff Road
U S House of Representatives McLean VA 22102-2723
September 11, 1996
Sir,
Thank you for co-sponsoring the Udall Parkinson's Bill
H.R.1462.
Representative Michael Bilirakis, Chairman of the Health and
Environmental Subcommittee, is reluctant to schedule the Udall
Bill for action by his subcommittee.
A majority of his Health and Environmental Subcommittee, and a
majority of Representative Thomas J Bliley's Commerce Committee,
and a majority of the House of Representatives have co-sponsored
the Udall bill.
A majority of Senator Nancy Landon Kassebaum's Labor and Human
Resources Committee have co-sponsored the Udall Parkinson's Bill
S.684, and a majority of the Senate have co-sponsored the Udall
bill. The committee has attached unanimously the Udall bill to the
NIH reauthorization bill S.1897.
Would you please contact Representative Bilirakis, by letter or
telephone, and ask him, please, for the sake of one and a half
million Americans, including me, who suffer Parkinson's disease,
to read the book 'The Case of the Frozen Addicts', authored by
J William Langston MD.
And ask him to reconsider, after reading the book, if he is
doing the right thing by blocking the Udall bill from passage and
enactment.
Respectfully,
Edwin Partridge
