H.R. 400 AND OTHER THINGS
The segment on CNBC featuring Dr. Damadian went off as planned. The afternoon segment aired at 2:00 PM E.S.T. rather than 1:30 PM, but CNBC did a nice job of editing. Also on Wednesday, Dr. Damadian was interviewed by several other stations at a press conference called by New York Congressman Michael Forbes, (R) Quogue, NY. CBS News Radio 88 in New York City featured Dr. Damadian during its news program that day. On Thursday, News 12 Long Island played an interview of Dr. Damadian each hour during the day.
The focus of all this was H.R. 400, a bill before Congress, which some call "The 21st Century Patent Giveaway Act" and also "The Steal American Technology Act." We would like to appeal to our investors to take up the fight against H.R. 400. When you read the bill in its entirety, you realize that it was written by foreign companies and governments (mostly Japanese) and some of our own U.S. big corporations. In Congress it is supported by well financed PACs (Political Action Committees). It will not benefit, nor is it backed by, America's legitimate inventors.
If this bill passes, those who depend on the American patent for survival will be in extreme jeopardy. So please join us at FONAR by calling your Congressional representatives and tell them to VOTE AGAINST H.R. 400.

In other news, congratulations to Dr. Damadian for being awarded the 1996 Clinical MRI Gold Medal for services to Magnetic Resonance. The Gold Medals are presented by an international panel to renowned researchers who have advanced the clinical role of magnetic resonance on a broad front. (It's about time the Father of MRI got some international recognition! Wouldn't you say?)
A very happy Easter holiday to you all.
