  MORRIS K. UDALL PARKINSON'S RESEARCH, EDUCATION, AND ASSISTANCE ACT

 Mr. HATFIELD. Mr. President, since the introduction of the 
Morris K. Udall Parkinson's Research, Education, and Assistance Act, S. 
684, on April 6, 1995, I have received subsequent letters of support 
from many groups and individuals around the country.
  I ask that a list of these groups and individuals be printed in the 
Record following a letter of support from the chairman of the National 
Parkinson Foundation, Inc.
  The material follows:

                          National Parkinson Foundation, Inc.,

                                        Miami, FL, March 27, 1995.
     Hon. Mark Hatfield,
     U.S. Senator,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Senator Hatfield: The National Parkinson Foundation 
     was founded with a dual purpose. Firstly, to find the cause 
     and cure of Parkinson's Disease and secondly, to improve the 
     quality of care for Parkinson patients and their caregivers.
       Our fifty thousand square foot headquarters building, 
     located in Miami, Florida, comprises clinical offices, 
     research facilities, therapeutic departments and a Parkinson 
     day care center.
       In addition, our dedication has caused us to create and to 
     support twenty additional 
     [[Page S5678]] centers located in the most prestigious 
     medical schools in the United States as well as to create 
     seven more such centers world wide.
       Thus, it is evident how all encompassing our representation 
     is in and for the Parkinson community.
       I assure you of the utmost support of the entire National 
     Parkinson Foundation organization on behalf of the ``Morris 
     K. Udall Parkinson's Research, Assistance, and Education Act 
     of 1995''.
       I also wish to assure you that I personally am available in 
     any manner you see fit to assist you in support of the bill.
           Sincerely,
                                                   Nathan Slewett,
     Chairman.
