Hi,

Loved your comments!  I suggest that you send an e-mail to Gail Ravnitzky,
<Gail [log in to unmask]>, tell her you support HR 3531 and ask her
who to contact regarding the Viagra issue.   She is the Senior Legislative
Assistant to Rep. Carolyn Maloney and is the primary contact for HR 3531,
the New Mothers' Breastfeeding Promotion and Protection Act.

When you find out, let us all know.
