On Friday 07/13 and Saturday 07/14, ACT UP - Milwaukee canvassed Milwaukee bars with the Parallel track policy letter. The goal of this action was to obtain signatures on these letters so they could be mailed on Monday 07/17 to the National AIDS Program Office. The letter was created after a call was made by ACT UP - New York for a national letter campaign in support of a Parallel Track for investigational AIDS drugs. "Parallel Track (PT) is a federal program that will permit the use of investigational drugs for HIV disease by people who have no therapeutic alternatives even before these drugs are approved for marketing. The federal government has published a policy statement on Pt in the Federal Register. Until July 20, the feds will be entertaining comments from the public about PT. It's imperative to the success of this policy that you write in its support." ACT UP - Milwaukee drafted a letter to this effect. I have uploaded an ASCII format of the letter to the Misc. file section. The file name is Parallel.ASC. Please download and reprint the letter. It should be mailed to the address listed on the letter. Please note, all letters must be received by the feds by July 20. Letters should be sent by Wednesday 07/18. . If you have any questions regarding this policy please feel free to call ACTUP at 414-769-8708. -- Uucp: ...{gatech,ames,rutgers}!ncar!asuvax!stjhmc!154!69.0!Allen.Uebele.Actup.Milwaukee Internet: Allen.Uebele.Actup.Milwaukee@p0.f69.n154.z1.fidonet.org
