Michael Claeys Community Outreach Coordinator, PAN, writes: Subject: Smith Bill Update Three new Members have signed onto the Smith bill. They are: Dave Weldon (R-FL) - Smith bill cosponsor in 104th Asa Huttchinson (R-AR) - Freshman, but in one of our current target states, so an effort needs to be made to either change his mind or at least get him to also sign onto the Udall bill. Thomas Manton (D-NY) - Udall bill cosponsor in 104th and member of the Commerce Committee! There has to be immediate and intense response to this! My records show that the Health LA is Elizabeth O'Hara. We need to find out what Manton is thinking. I will call Manton's office today and try to schedule an appointment for next week. We cannont have Democrat members of the Commerce Committee supporting the Smith bill! If anyone has any insight on Manton's decision, please let me know. Further, please let me know what activity is being focused on his office, so that I can reference it during my meeting. Thank you, and let's not wait.
