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?
