Instead of mailing a letter, you can send e-mail to Rep. Gingrich
and Senator Domenici(appropriations chair)!
Hon. Newt Gingrich georgia6@hr.house.gov
Hon. Pete Domenici senator_domenici@domenici.senate.gov
or you can call the Capitol Switchboard (800) 768-2221 and ask to speak to
Senators Dole and Domenici. Ask their aides to support funding NIH at the levels
proposed in the House version of the bill.
If you do write a letter, use your work as an example of the positive impact of
medical research on improving the quality of life of Americans. Make sure
your letter is concise and clear.
