Hi Ladies,

As we announced by March 1st of this year, we need to compile a large binder of personal stories, pictures, and advertisements re saline implants to submit to the FDA to follow up our testimonies at the FDA Hearings March 1st throough 3rd, in Gaithersberg, MD. We have accumulated a diverse amount of personal stories re saline implants, yet not nearly enough to have the 'huge' impact we need to send to the FDA before the FDA's final decisions in Mid-May, 2000! We also don't have nearly enough advertisements from magazines to add as a significant section to our binder to even create curiosity. If we had a million dollars to go out and spend on all the ladies' magazines, we don't have enough time to look for these advertisements before the deadline to submit this information to the FDA, for consideration. We want to thank all of you who have submitted personal stories and those who have sent copies of advertisements.

We are sincerely grateful, however, we must have a lot more of both ASAP -- otherwise the few things we now have to submit, look like a "drip in a bucket" -- and that doesn't have much impact on anyone. To finally get right to the point -- a handful of "dedicated workaholics" cannot accomplish what we need to do and say at this point. If we lose this race, because the majority did not 'Help' with efforts such as this one, then we don't know how we can help the hundreds of thousands of BI sick women following us. That is more than pitiful and selfish! Please help us now,

Martha Murdock, Director

We have received very few advertisements from women's magazines regarding the availability of Mentor & McGhan Implants.
