>-- [ From: Seymour Gross * EMC.Ver #2.5.3 ] -- SNIPPED >I recently attended a talk given by Dr. Art Caplan, Director of the Dept >. of Bio Ethics at the University of Pennsylvania, who was an advocate >for the Udall bill. Afterwards, we spoke briefly of the efforts that >need to be expended now to actually get monies appropriated. He said >that if we got a letter to him he would see to it that, via a friend, >it is given to Vice-President Gore. I passed this information on to Jim >Cordy and it was presented to the steering committee, which as you know, >includes representatives of the Parkinson's organizations, in an attempt >to get as much organizational unity and support for a joint letter to >the Vice President as possible. In an example of a collaborative >undertaking, Bill Turenne, Jr. of NPF, and Michael Claeys of PAN drafted >the following letter which is addressed to Vice President Gore. The >letterhead reads, "A Joint Statement From National Parkinson Foundation, >Parkinson's Disease Foundation, Parkinson's Action Network." The letter >is signed by Lawrence S. Hoffheimer, NPF; Lewis P. Rowland, M.D., PDF; >and Joan I. Samuelson, PAN. SNIPPED Good job! thanks for the time and effort involved in this creative approach!
