Dear C;hair*;ersom
Tht Sutter Countt,Board cf Supervisors, at their meeting on May 7, 1996, was made aware of the
efforts of Dr. Balazs Imre Bodai, Chief of the Department of Surgery, Kaiser Permanente Hospital
in Sacramento, California., to obtain Congressional approval of a 33-cent commemorative postage
stamp to raise funds for breast cancer research. The proposed stamp would be an optional first-class
stamp, with the additional one cent donated to breast cancer research. We are particularly impressed
with the fact that, in effect, the donation would be voluntary. Dr. Bodai's efforts were brought to our
attention by one of his patients,Mercy Davidchik, who is a local resident and breast cancer survivor.
Ale all personally know of someone,whether a family member, friend, or acquaintance, who has been
atfected by breast cancer. According to Dr. Bodai, breast cancer is a disease that is becoming
epidemic, with one woman in eight now being at risk. He estimates that approximately 2.3 million
women in the United States alope currently have breast cancer, with the disease claiming more than
46,000 lives every year. He believes a cure for this devastating disease can be found through
research. The additional one cent generated by the optional 33-cent stamp would go directly toward
research conducted by the National Cancer Institute, providing an estimated $30 million per year.
'The Sutter County Board of Supervisors strongly supports Dr. Bodai's efforts to raise funds for
breast cancer research. We are aware that our Congressman, Vic Fazio,joined by Congressmen
Doolittle and Matsui, have introduced HR 3401 to allow for this postage stamp. We would request
that you join us in supporting the campaign for HR 3 40 1, which would make the optional 33-cent
postage stamp possible.
Sincerely,
Casey Kroon
Chairman
