It's Congressional budget time again. See http://www.ninds.nih.gov/WHATSNEW/1999testimony/testimony1999.HTM for the statement by Gerald D. Fischbach, M.D., Director, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, presented to the House Subcommittee on Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations regarding the President's Fiscal Year 2000 Budget Request. PD has a prominent place in the document, which contains the sentence, "We are committed to supporting a vigorous and expanding program of research in Parkinson's disease and to moving toward full implementation of the Morris K. Udall Parkinson's Disease Research Act." Phil Tompkins Hoboken NJ age 61/dx 1990
