'Some' PWP must have been calling their Congressman's offices about
FDA delaying Pramipexole, because when we were on the Hill yesterday,
several Congressional staff people asked us if there was a problem with FDA
related to Parkinson's Disease. We (Carole Walton and I) jumped in with
both feet and complained that the drug has been approved, is ready to be
shipped, and the final approval has not come from the FDA. They are VERY
interested in this issue because they have regulatory powers over government
agencies. If a Congrssional person asked for information, the agency
responds IMMEDIATELY.
Maybe it would be a useful thing for us to call our Congressman's
offices and complain loudly!! I can't put my hands on the toll-free number
for the Capitol but it has been posted many times.

best, you very often get it.
