^^^^^^ WARM GREETINGS FROM ^^^^^^^^^^^^ :-) Ivan Suzman 49/39/36 [log in to unmask] :-) Portland, Maine land of lighthouses 64 deg. F :-) ******************************************************************** Dear P.I.E.N. readers, It's official. After a long series of telephone calls from both the Portland and the Washington offices of U.S. Senator Olympia Snowe of Maine, I have been asked to submit testimony for the Senate Appropiations hearing, Tuesday morning, September 28, 1999. My responsibility is to supply approximately 14 pages of double-spaced, typed testimony. This page-length is that which would represent a ten-minute speech. I have been asked to describe in detail what I go through daily to combat Parkinson's Disease. Because Tuesday morning's hearing is on an extremely tight schedule, my testimony probably will not be read at the microphone. It is definitely, "official testimony", however, and I am still waiting to hear exactly how it will be announced. It will be handed directly to the Committee Chair, Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, by Senator Snowe, and copied for all of the Senators on the Appropriations Committee, and their staffs. Thank you all for your support, and for your e-mail and telephone calls about adding me to the established list. Kind of exciting, isn't it?? Ivan Suzman (49/39/36) :-)
