Dear Senator Voinovich-- thank you for your letter of Sept. 13, 1999
indicating your support of funding for Parkinsons disease research.
In view of this, we hope you will be voting on Wednesday 9/29 in favor of
the he Labor, HHS bill which goes to the Senate floor in the morning
tomorrow.
In that bill is funding which supports Parkinson's disease research. One
of the messages that came out of the Senate committee hearing this morning
, at which Michael J. Fox and others testified, was
that people would like to see Parkinson's disease receive the full
authorization of funds included in the UDALL Act which passed Congress
last year.
This, then, is your chance to act on the concern expressed in your reply to
us on the 13th. Please do add your support for this important funding of
Parkinson's research.
Sincerely,

Dear Senator DeWine-- thank you for your support of funding for Parkinsons
disease research when the authorization bill for NIH funding was passed
last year..
In view of this, we hope you will be voting on Wednesday 9/29 in favor of
the he Labor, HHS bill which goes to the Senate floor in the morning
tomorrow.
In that bill is funding which supports Parkinson's disease research. One

authorization of funds included in the UDALL Act which passed Congress

This, then, is your chance to act on the concern expressed in your action
last year. Please do add your support for this important funding of
