It is a shame to see resources wasted on denying dying people access to a medicine that helps them while the United States is in continuing danger from terrorist attacks. I hope that criticism such as Broder's will encourage the Drug Enforcement Administration to rethink its priorities. CHRISTINE HOFF KRAEMER Austin - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
