Andy:

Don't know about a separate bill, I'd bet that if we get somebody to sponsor us he'd rather attach it to something else, so that it would be harder for the Congress not to approve it.  Who knows where it might wind up.  It would probably have a better chance of passing if it could be included with the breast cancer research that shows up each year in the defense bill.

You are right this is a BIG PROJECT for the HPOCA.  It will take years to get it done.
