Guest guest Posted June 23, 2001 Report Share Posted June 23, 2001 I just got a reply from my Congressman about the Uterine Fibroids Act of 2001 (H.R. 1672). He said the measure has been referred to the House Subcommittee on Health, but no hearings have been held or scheduled on this legislation (he called it important!). This issue has also not been included in the legislative agenda for the coming months. I think we need to let our elected representatives know just how important this is to us. Please, if you haven't already, write to your Representative and let them know that this is something they should support. For those who would like to view the text of the bill, it can be found at http://thomas.loc.gov. Enter H.R. 1672 in the box for searching by bill number. - Donnelly poppet@...

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2001 Report Share Posted June 23, 2001 My rep is Leonard Boswell (Iowa) and, no, he said nothing about co-sponsoring the bill. He gave me a summary of the bill and said that no hearings have either been held or scheduled for " this important legislation.
