Response from NC Senator

[Guest guest]

YEAHHH!!! Crystal (mother of 3 June 2)

Dear Mrs. Wood:

Thank you for your e-mail regarding Cystic Fibrosis Awareness

Month.

I appreciate hearing from you on this important issue.

I have tremendous concern for the 30,000 individuals in our

country

who live life each day with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). It is impossible

to

imagine the difficulties that everyday life presents for these

individuals. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation estimates that over 10

million

people carry a recessive CF gene. I believe it is important that we

expand

education efforts to reach these individuals and make them aware of

CF.

You may be interested to know that S. Res. 98 passed the

Senate

by unanimous consent on September 25, declaring a National Cystic

Fibrosis Week in October 2003. I am pleased that we were able to

pass this

legislation and help promote education about this disease.

As you know, S. Con. Res. 298 was introduced by Senator

and

expressed the sense of Congress to declare May 2004 as Cystic

Fibrosis

Awareness Month. This bill has been referred to the Senate Judiciary

Committee, and I look forward to supporting it when it comes to the

Senate floor. Please be assured that I will continue to advocate for

legislation that supports individuals suffering with Cystic Fibrosis.

Thank you again for your e-mail. Please keep in touch.

Yours sincerely,

United States Senate
