PRIORITY:
Dr. Bruce Smith will present tomorrow 3/19 to a committe in the State
Legislature in support of a bill to protect women who need to brfeed in

etc)/person objecting(waiter,patron,MD,police, etc)/how harassed (told to
move, dirty look, threatened or scolded, ticketed,etc)/what outcome was
(continued to brfdg, moved to continue brfdg,cited for "indecent
expos"/ifcited, was fine paid?/would you (harassed woman) be willing to
testify before state legislature if asked?
Also needs name/address/position/phone of person reporting above if different
from the actual harassed person.
pl fax c/o San Bernardino Dept of P. Health OR email Dr SMith

Thanks! (this is the second time Calif has tried this--so it may be hard to
do again if does not pass)
