Hi Roy and all of the other very dedicated, hardworking persons involved in
the fight for justice regarding this issue: My "holiday letter" of appeal
for help follows. It was my intention to also copy The New York Times;
however, I noticed when I was photocopying that they were not included. I
had made some last-minute changes when I added your words, Roy (last sentence
of paragraph 3) -- hope you don't mind!! I also amended the letter after
reviewing one of Dr. Ed Maxey's latest emails.

Re: ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION
& LEUKEMIA - "CHILDREN ARE
A GIFT THAT PULLS AT OUR HEARTSTRINGS!!!"
Dear President Bush:
Your appearance 11-2-99 on Larry King Live discussing your book "All The
Best" was very touching.
I have great empathy for anyone who has endured the pain of watching a child
suffer through the rigors of treatment only to lose her to a terrible disease
like leukemia. It is obvious you and Mrs. Bush keep your little Robin close
by recalling the good times -- my heart goes out to you both!!
I am appealing to you, as Chairman of the M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, for
help in "getting the word out" about the recent National Institute of
Environmental Health Sciences EMF RAPID Study conclusions that "there is a
possible connection between ELF's (extremely low frequenchy electromagnetic
fields) and leukemia in children." Studies also indicate a possible
relationship between EMF's in the workplace and adult leukemia. Both the
NIEHS and a study by the National Academy of Science agreed on the
proposition that epidemiological research showed PROXIMITY to powerlines as
having an association with a higher incidence of childhood leukemia.
It is apparent that our government, as well as industry, cancer societies and
the media have chosen to ignore or downplay the seriousness of the need to
properly inform and educate the public regarding exposure to EMR.
The current web pages of NIEHS regarding EMF RAPID state in part: "research
continues on some 'lingering concerns' and efforts to reduce exposures
continue." I and many others ask, "what efforts!!!????
The National Cancer Institute (NIH) home page has a section regarding press
releases. One very interesting topic is entitled "Environmental tobacco
smoke 'linked' to lung cancer and other effects." Where is a press release
regarding "possible connection between EMF's and childhood leukemia?" NCI's
CancerNet webpage has also not been updated.
The Leukemia Society of America makes no mention of the EMF RAPID conclusions
on their web pages.
The American Cancer Society last updated their web pages on 4-13-99. Their
pages do not reflect conclusions of the NIEHS RAPID Study.
We need public service announcements on TV, in newspapers and magazines and
also over the radio. Brochures should be distributed to schools and the
various medical facilities in our country as well as Canada, Mexico and other
countries around the world. All of this is no secret to The World Health
Organization!!
Caretakers of todays' children as well as tomorrow's children, must be
educated so they can take measures to avoid and reduce EMR exposure in
childrens' bedrooms (as well as their own). Clock radios, telephone
answering machines, certain lamps and other electrical devices should not be
placed near the head of a bed. Beds should not be adjacent to a wall where
the power enters a home. Children must be told to "back off" -- to sit or
stand several feet away from TV sets when they are watching or playing
handheld games.
Cell phones are also fast becoming an issue of major concern. On a recent
20/20 Program, you may have heard researchers, Dr.George Carlo and Dr. Ross
Adey voice their concerns regarding cell phone use and studies showing links
to memory loss and brain cancer. Dr. Henry Lai just completed studies
showing how cell phone microwaves affect long term memory in rats.
"I am targeting the children" exclaimed an inventor of a disposable cell
phone!! She hopes to market the phones at McDonalds in time for the year
2000 holidays. AT&T is promoting a Disney cell phone....... Nokia and
other companies are "on the bandwagon!!" Childrens' cell phones are now
being sold by Toys R Us!!!
The "evidence" whether weak or strong IS significant!! There is worldwide
concern about the known effects of this Category B Carcinogen and the public
has "THE NEED TO KNOW' and 'THE RIGHT TO KNOW!!!"
Sincerely, /s/ Joanne C. Mueller
