Hi Kathy & Susan;

I'm a dumb Canadian but I've been following the Udall Bill with the
greatest interest since it has potential to do so much good for all
Parkinsonians.  I think I can answer your questions.  Nita Andres &
Phil Tompkins & Janet Paterson and so many others on this list have
taught me how to find info on this subject.
