Dear Ms. Marshall:

Thanks for sending your comments on H.R. 631. Given your concerns about the review of disability determination professionals, as well as concerns expressed by others, we decided to drop this provision.

As always, we are grateful to NADE for helping us write effective SSI legislation. Your help and advice over the years is greatly appreciated--and more often that not we even follow it.

Cordially,

Ron Haskins
Staff Director RH/mp
