December 23, 1994

AIDS TREATMENT NEWS Issue #213, December 23, 1994 National AIDS organizations are hurrying to find out about the new members of Congress. Have they had any involvement with AIDS, or with other health issues? Are they likely to be friendly, hostile, or indifferent? What issues of any sort are most important to them? If you have such information about your representatives or other members of Congress, especially the new members, you can help by calling some or all of the organizations listed below. The best way to make sure the information gets to those who need it would be to fax it to all of them. AIDS Action Council (AAC): Call 202/986-1300, ext. 47, or fax to 202/986-1345.
