RTK.NET Mail 209748 Sep 26 17:15:22 1996 Ammend that last message! The NIH Revitalization Act just passed in the Senate! A modified version of the Udall bill, directing NIH to spend $80 million on Parkinson's research and other Parkinson's programs, was attached to this bill. This is really a major victory and is a tribute to the hard work of so many people who have and who care about people with PD. Now we have Senators such as Hatfield and others pressuring House members (particularly Bliley, who chairs the House Commerce Committee) to act on NIH Reauthorizing legislation during this congress. We need everyone to call Bliley's office and ask him to support Parkinson's disease research and act on NIH Reauthorization legislation before Congress adjourns. Then spend some time cheering and patting yourselves on the back. The grassroots support this year has been amazing and now it's paying off! with love to all, Sherri Cave [log in to unmask] p.s. I'm not able to keep up with the list these days, so if you need me to respond to a question or something, send a copy to my email address.
