Subject: Fw: PUBLIC comment ON FEDERAL REGISTER -new spending not needed - already have information on this

TAXPAYERS SHOULD NOT BE GOUGED TO PAY FOR THIS SURVEY WHICH HAS BEEN DONE EVERY YEAR FOR THE PAST 60 YEARS. THIS AGENCY NEVER ACTS ON THE RESULT OF THE SURVEY. TAXPAYERS DO NOT WANT TO PAY INTO ETERNITY TO COLLECT THE SAME OLD INFORMATION OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAN. DO YOU THROW LAST YEARS INFO INT O THE WASTEBASKET AND THEN SET ABOUT TRYING TO GOUGE TAXPAYERS TO DO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN?  YOU HAVE 60 YEARS OF INFORMATION ON THIS SUBJECT DONE ALREADY WHICH CAN BE ACCESSED. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO NEED IN THE WORLD TO KEEP DOING THIS SAME SURVEY./ 4200 DEATHS OUT OF 300 MILLION PEOPLE IS A VERY SMALL NUMBER. THIS ISSUE DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME EPIDEMIC PROPORTIONS AS AUTISM AND CHRONIC COLITIS HAS. THIS PROJECT IS OBSOLETE AND WASTEFUL AND COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY. CUT THE BUDGET FOR THIS TO ZERO. SHUT DOWN THIS PROJECT. THIS CMOMENT IS FOR THE PU BLIC RECORD. JEAN PUBLIC
