Hello fellow P.I.E.N. readers, On Sat, 25 Sep 1999 10:43:12 -0700 "Donald F. McKinley" <[log in to unmask]> writes: >IVAN i favor u going to the senate, (PLEASE SEE MY RESPONSE BELOW) the reason i did not put it on the >LIST >is i am not good any more at putting my feeling down on paper. or >wright,spell a good story. so hear i am backing you openly good luck > > I.Y.Q. DON Dear "Cyber-uncle" DON, Good morning from Maine! Tyrone, who helps me 5 mornings each week, and I were wondering if YOU would express your opinion about my OFFICIAL testimony Then, I checked my e-mail, and your message had just arrived! Don, you say that you favor me GOING TO THE SENATE.. UNLESS something changes, I will be at home, not going to Washington. The answer from Senator Snowe's staff is that Senator Specter's staff says that there is not enough TIME at the hearing for either me or a surrogate reader for me, to appear IN PERSON. Instead, my typed testimony is OFFICIAL, and will be distributed to the Committee members. I accepted this, because my statement is OFFICIAL testimony, adding to that of Dr. Fishbach, Mr. Fox, Ms. Samuelson, and Mr. Cordy. Senator Snowe's staff added that if there are further hearings LATER, they could push to get me included AT THE MICROPHONE, in Washington. Don, it still is UNKNOWN to me if my name will be announced and identified as a PWP, AT the hearing. I really think it should be announced by Senator Specter. If people believe that my name should be ANNOUNCED, and identified as a PWP, the only thing I can think of would be to call Senator Specter (202) 224-4254 or Senator Snowe (202) 224-5344(ask for Jennifer Griffith). I think it may be more productive,however, to CALL or write your OWN Senators, as Connie Tate of California did for Senator Feinstein, and ask them to PLEASE get a copy of my testimony, and READ it. So, DON you can e-mail or write your Senators. I think they are John Glenn and Mike DeWine. I have (202) 224-3353 for Sen. Glenn, and (202) 224-2315 for Senator DeWine. DON, you and Vivian have been fighting against PD for 30 years. Keep at it! My real Dad is 81, in Massachusetts, and a World War II veteran. When you write me, it makes me think about him, and about Ken Becker's dad. Right now, I've got a VERY tough job ahead of me, to WRITE and TYPE a ten-minute speech, estimated to be 14 double-spaced typed pages, AND to be ready to e-mail it or send it out in 48 hours. SO if I don't resurface easily this weekend, those of you who need to reach me can either e-mail, or if URGENT, telephone me. My phone number is listed in local "directory assistance" with Bell - Atlantic Tel.
