Dear List Friends, I was given the AARP free phone number to contact your representatives. Please call those of your reps. that cosponsored the Udall Bill and ask them to sign the "Dear Colleague" letter sent to them by Reps. Upton & Waxman. This letter will go to the Labor HHS Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman Porter and Ranking Member Obey advocating "substantially increased investment" in PD research. The number is 1 800 361-5222. It will just take a minute to make this ALL IMPORTANT call. Please do this on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. Thank you, Helen Mason
