Excerpt from the December 1996 Parkinson's Action Network "Action Reporter", an Advocacy Report for the Parkinson's Community- In an October 25, 1996 letter to Florida advocate Sylvia Miller, Congressman Mike Bilirakis, Chairman of the House Commerce Committee's Sub-Committee on Health and Environment, stated, "I assure you that P.D. research will be a priority of the 105th congress."
