Tom Harkin: “Today I chaired a hearing on Parkinson's Disease in the Labor, Health and Human Services and Education Appropriations…”

On the recordMay 22, 2002
Today I chaired a hearing on Parkinson's Disease in the Labor, Health and Human Services and Education Appropriations Subcommittee. I was profoundly touched by the victims of this disease who came to testify and by the many, many victims, families and advocates who came to Washington to put a human face on this horrible disease. As a Congress, we can't take the time to listen to every story but I ask unanimous consent that one little girl's story be printed in the Record.
