Guest guest Posted May 5, 1999 Report Share Posted May 5, 1999 Pat, I would be very willing to testify before Congress; however, affording the trip from Washington state is an obstacle. I would be willing to produce a video tape telling my Mother's story. Not as effective but something to think about. Please let me know how I can help.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 1999 Report Share Posted May 17, 1999 , Here is the address I have. I wrote to him August 1998 concerning holding a hearing -- didn't get a reply. The suggestion was that if a number of people write to him, his committee might consider it. Shays, Chairman Subcommittee on Human Resources Committee on Government Reform and Oversight 2157 Rayburn House Office Building - Room B-372 Washington, DC 20515-6143 His office address is: The Honorable Shays 1502 Longworth Building Washington, D.C. 20515-0704 ..............Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
