Not all the links to the report from H.R.4274 within http://thomas.loc.gov appear to be active at this time. If you start at http://thomas.loc.gov, then click on House and Senate: Floor Activities H. R. 4274 Text of Legislation Link to House Committee Report 635 you will find the report. I do not understand some of the passages or phrases in the report. > The Committee is encouraged by the initiation of a > core center program and urges NINDS to expand the program. What is the core center program? > In addition, the Institute is urged to utilize all other available > mechanisms, as appropriate, including requests for applications, > program announcements, and extended funding of selected > investigators now working in the field, to further implement the > 1997 Morris K. Udall Parkinson's Research Act. What is meant by "further"? What has been implemented thus far? > The Committee requests NINDS to report on its progress in > implementing the Act at its fiscal year 2000 appropriations > hearing. Does the report have the same force of law as H.R.4274 will when it is enacted? Phil Tompkins
