                      BREAST CANCER RESEARCH STAMP

  Mrs. FEINSTEIN. Mr. President, I wish to submit for the 
Record letters from two young children in support of the Breast Cancer 
Research Stamp. These children, Brendon Fisher, age 6 and a half, and 
Paige Fisher, age 8 and a half, are the nephew and niece of Betsy 
Mullen, Chairperson of the Women's Information Network--Against Breast 
Cancer. These letters eloquently state why it is so important to 
continue this program.
  The letters follow.

                                                    July 16, 2000.
       Dear Congress, I think it's very important to keep the 
     stamp because if we don't every girl is going to worry about 
     it or maybe get breast cancer. But if we keep it we will get 
     money to cure to stop it. My Aunt Betsey risked her life on 
     it and I'm proud of her. If you think about it no one likes 
     it because you can die from it. I think, and a lot of other 
     people agree with me, that it would be best to keep the stamp 
     and then things will go perfect. Hope my letter makes a 
     difference because not just me is counting on this.
       By Paige Fisher, 8\1/2\ years old.
       Dear Congress, girls and boys can get breast cancer and I 
     don't want girls and boys and the president and his wife, cat 
     and dog to get sick. Keep the stamp going.
       From Brendon Fisher.
