[Fwd: [CAN-Alert] President Signs Child Health Bill Into Law!]

[Guest guest]

Last night at 9:30 President Clinton signed the Children's Health Act

into law. In a big news week, this story cannot go without notice.

The effort that Cure Autism Now and so many families have been

working on for three years is now law.

This ground breaking legislation that extensively expands research,

prevention and treatment of chronic diseases that impact children

includes a special focus on autism.

" In signing the Children's Health Act of 2000, our nation's leaders

are sending a very strong message about the severity and seriousness

of autism, " said Shestack, Cure Autism Now co-founder, " This

law will put autism research and education on a fast track by

authorizing a comprehensive federal war on the disease. "
