To All: I read Ivan Suzman's totally inaccurate account of his alleged mistreatment by the National Parkinson Foundation. I hope that Mr. Suzman's statements are not taken seriously, particularly those about NPF not supporting the Udall Bill. That is a fairy tale. I've been working a great deal on this important legislation which is so vital to the Parkinson community as has NPF. Every issue of its fine newsletter addresses the Udall bill. As a footnote, I had lunch today with Joan Samuelson followed by a VERY productive meeting with Senator Paul Wellstone who reiterated his burning commitment to seeing the Udall bill pass soon, and also presented a very reasonable and workable legislative strategy which we agreed to implement. You'll hear more later on this subject. I'm very optimistic! Lawrence S.
