Everyone who might benefit from NIH funding - all the disease organizations, all the research organizations - are now bombarding Congress with requests to enact the proposal to double NIH funding. That one's a winner. I'd guess we'll have to make a big impact for Udall to be noticed along side this. People might very well think that NIH X 2 will be adequate for Parkinson's. I'd say we'll need to make a pretty good case for Udall funding beyond NIH X 2, yes? Phil Tompkins Hoboken NJ 60/9
