1). Requested Congressman Pallone to review a drafter letter which asks the NIH director to identify the agency's plans for soliciting research into the Exserohilum Rostratum Meningitis epidemic which is impacting several states. Dr. Perlin, director of the UMDNJ Regional Biocontainment Laboratory, requested the matter be brought to the congressman's attention. 2). Advocated for congressional legislation, "Medicare Access to Radiology Care Act," H. R. 1148, which would allow facilities tobill Medicare for medical imaging services performed by qualified radiologist assistants under the direction of a supervising radiologist.

1. Advocated the congressional passage of legislation to advert the Fiscal Cliff, known as the American Taxpayer Relief Act (H.R.8). The legislation adverted scheduled income tax increases, and postponed until March 1, 2013 the spending reductions required by the sequestration process which if allowed to go into effect will impact many federal programs important to UMDNJ's missions, including the NIH, CDC, HRSA and many others. H.R. 8 also avoids an automatic 26.5 percent reduction in Medicare payments to physicians by extending current Medicare payment rates through December 31, 2013. 2. While federal agency spending is level-funded through a Continuing Resolution set to expire March 31, 2013, UMDNJ continued to advocate for adequate FY 2013 appropriation levels for many programs important to the University's mnissions, in preparation for when the Congress finalizes the FY13 appropriation process.
