Dear Friends,

At the invitation of Terry Collins, Professor of Chemistry at Carnegie
Mellon University, Pittsburgh, several colleagues and I presented on
Thursday night on the origins of the autism epidemic. Terry Collins has won
several major awards for 'green' chemisrty and his extraordinary efforts to
create a sustainable world through the reduction of toxic environmental
exposures. Before and after the lecture he has come under huge pressure
from public health officials and certain academics, none of whom have ever
read the relevant science, and he now faces a meeting with the Provost of
his university on Monday. Please would you write in support of Professor
Collins, to him at tc1u@andrew.cmu.edu, by the end of the W/E if possible,
emphasizing the urgency with which the science needs to be performed and
commending him on his willigness to promote legitimate and timely debate on
what is an international emergency.

Please would you pass this request on to colleagues and relevant listserves.

Thank you in anticipation.

Andy (Wakefield)
