Dear Ms. Cunniff:

Thank you for contacting me with your support for H.R. 1424, the
Paul Wellstone Mental Health and Addiction Equity Act of 2007.
I cosponsored the bill, and was pleased to join with my colleagues
in voting for it when it was passed by the House. With the House
having approved this long overdue legislation, I will continue to do
everything to ensure that mental health parity is mandated.

BARNEY FRANK
