For Jim and Emily and anyone else who may have missed this message yesterday..... We hope to have the names of the 40 Senators who signed the letter to Senator Stevens in a day or so. PHONE ALERT PHONE ALERT PHONE ALERT THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION HAS BEEN PASSED ON TO US BY MIKE CLAEYS OF THE PARKINSON ACTION NETWORK WITH THE REQUEST THAT ADVOCATES OF THE UDALL BILL IMMEDIATELY CONTACT THEIR SENATORS. Last week advocates were asked to call their Senators and urge support for the bill introduced by Senator Connie Mack (R- Florida) which would double NIH spending in the next 5 years. Thanks in large measure to the outpouring of calls this bill was passed. Mack - Feinstein Resolution: As a follow-up to last week's legislation Senators Mack and Feinstein (D-California) have introduced a resolution which would require that the $2 billion dollars be added to the budget of the Senate Appropriations Committee so that funds will be available from that budget to be added to the NIH allocation. Forty senators have signed a letter which may already have been sent on to Senator Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) Appropriations Chair. If your Senators are not among the 40 ask them to indicate their support of the resolution by contacting Senator Stevens. 1-800-962-3524 Thank you. Dolores Gross
