hi all in re the mysteries of the Udall bill please see the Parkinson Alliance site [happily, in a state of flux and growth at the moment] at: http: //www.parkinsonalliance.net/ which jerry finch and margaret tuchman put together in an unprecedented surge of energy and talent in the days leading up to the PAN forum in Washington D.C. last month there is a wealth of info there in re the background to the udall bill and the work that has been done to date the Parkinson Alliance was formed precisely to unite the disparate us parkinson organizations under one umbrella with one public parkinson 'face' so as to 'shepherd' the Udall bill/act through the U.S. government maze [the bill is named for Mo Udall, a fellow parkie] and so as to ensure that its $100,000,000 [yes, that's one hundred million american dollars] in research funds for Parkinson's [an unprecedented 'shot-in-the-arm' ] retains as much of its potential impact as possible the benefits could be well be world-wide, not limited to the us of a the source of this activity was jim cordy's 'call to arms' to the pd list three years ago i think maybe a web site dedicated to pd list newbies [linked to the People With Parkinson's WebRing] might could be a good idea... what do you all think? any suggestions as to what to include? your cyber-sis janet janet paterson 51/10 - endocarb/selegiline/fluoxetine - [log in to unmask] a new voice: http://www.newcountry.nu/pd/members/janet/index.htm
