I have spoken with Adrian Hochstadt, the Government Liaison for the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons. He will send you a copy of the bill, HR49, addressing the childhood deformities which were discussed. Our legislative conference is April 19th and 20th in Washington, DC. If possible 9:00 A.M. on April 20th would be ideal; however, anytime available to accommodate myself and several other representatives from the ASPRS will be greatly appreciated. I will contact you when the date is closer. Thank you again for your interest and concern. Sincerely, Malcolm Z.
