TO: Parkinsons Community - in Arizona & Nationwide PURPOSE:: Please pass the word. FROM: Maryhelen Davila - Phoenix Arizona A post to the Parkinson's worldwide community members was made on the PARKINSN LIST publicizing a list of U.S. Senators and Congressmen that should be contacted and asked to co-sponsor our bill (The Morris K. Udall Parkinsons Research and Education bill of 1997). I spoke to Ms. Schmdt at the Washington D.C. office of Congressman Kolbe, Representative of District 5 of the proud state of Arizona. Ms. Schmidt reaffirmed my notice sent a while back : not only is congressmaan Kolbe a previous co-sponsor ('96), but he is also an origional sponsor of our bill this year! She said she notified Upton & Waxman. I felt I had to doublle check because last year, by error, one of our other congresmen that agreed to co-sign, was inadvertantly left off the list. "Congressman J. KOLBE of ARIZONA supports the MORRIS K. UDALL PARKINSONS RESEARCH AND EDUCATION ACT" His name will be evident on our list of sponsors for the April 9th bill introduction !. Our Thanks to Congressman Kolbe!
