Congressional Letters

One of the requests we routinely make during Lobby Day meetings with members of Congress is that they write to other policymakers and federal health officials about CFIDS issues. Making CFS a higher research priority and maintaining the CFS Advisory Committee have been a focus of 2006 and 2007 requests. Letters from Members of Congress about these issues are found below.
