Re: Re: Frustration over Dow Lawsuit ...

[Guest guest]

Hi Jan,

I will get back to you Thursday or Friday afternoon, as soon as I clarify a

couple of things with the NOW organization, and their Breast Implant Task

Force, and with Dr. Sidney Wolfe with " Public Citizen " , and a couple of

others. If for some reason you have not heard from me by early Friday

afternoon, please send a reminder email. In the meantime, you can be

working on what you want to say! OK?

L & L,

Martha M

NSIF
