short time Tuesday. The goal is to convince the lawyers' group to loosen its proposed restrictions for pleural disease, which is the primary affliction facing those exposed tremolite asbestos from the now-defunct vermiculite mine near Libby. "If the federal government accepts their criteria, we're screwed," said asbestos advocate Gayla Benefield of Libby. By issuing the recommendation of asbestos standards to federal lawmakers, the bar associa- tion is supporting legislation that would allow those with non-malignant asbestos disease claims to file a lawsuit in court only if they meet certain requirements. Benefield, along with Dr.
Alan Whitehouse of Spokane and Sen. Max Baucus, are worried that asbestos legislation pending in Congress could be too restrictive and that in the bar association's recommendation would only further isolate Libby asbestos victims. Opponents of the plan say it resembles the federal Fairness Act that was considered last year by Congress but rejected after Libby asbestos patients protested. "The ABA's high bar for pleural disease would disqualify the vast majority of Libby asbestos disease patients with moderate disease. The high bar for pleural disease would disqualify a very significant percentage of the Libby asbestos disease patients with severe disease," according to Whitehouse's let-: ter in response to the bar association's proposed asbestos standards.
"The ABA standard, when applied to the Libby patients, does not work. Many Lawyers face A1 in Bartels urges to restore funds HELENA (AP) A retired foundation that runs ed group businessman a and head of a homes for the disabled is airing television advertising to argue against cutting state programs that serve the disabled. "I know it's important that we have all the other things that we do in the state with our tax money," Lowell Bartels said. "But. somehow we have to move those (disabled) people up the ladder in importance." Bartels, former owner of two McDonald's restaurants, and his wife operate the Farm in the Dell Foundation.
The foundation runs a group home for eight disabled people in Helena and another group home in Kalispell. The Helena home gives its residents life in a rural setting and jobs raising produce and flowers. In the ad, Bartels said the Legislature's decision to set budgets at 2000 spending levels will have "serious consequences for our handicapped citizens. "This proposal will lead to a reduction in essential items like food, utilities and he says in the ad. "Our concern for our weak and elderly citizens makes us a great society.
Please join me and speak for those who cannot speak for Bartels urges people to call their legislators and object to the spending reductions. Legislative budget committees will vote within the next two weeks whether to maintain the 2000 spending level for human services programs. Bartels raised $4,000 for the ad, which began running in Helena about two weeks ago.

deemed 'unimpaired' and excluded from medical expense claims. Indeed, I find two patients who are on full-time oxygen who are disqualified as 'unimpaired' under the ABA criteria." Whitehouse, who has treated patients with exposure to various types of asbestos-related illnesses, spoke at an asbestos research conference last summer in Missoula that was attended by recognized scientists and toxicolo3: gists. He told researchers that more than 76 percent of those suffering from pleural disease from tremolite exposure progress to severe diseases that many times lead to death, more than 10 times the number of those who progress from more common: types of asbestos fibers. Whitehouse also recognized his study that the signs of serious impairment caused by tremolite asbestos fibers are different than the symptoms of other asbestos diseases. "It is not surprising that the lengthy report attached to the proposed ABA standards omits to even mention pleural disease Whitehouse's letter continues.
"The Libby tremolite asbestos disease tragedy appears to be an isolated instance. There was no representative on the committee's medical witness list who Libby tremolite asbestos disease." Tremolite is so unique that Baucus refers to it as "Libby fiber" in a six-page letter to Dennis Archer, president-elect of the American Bar Association. He echoes Whitehouse's statements, concluding that the Legislature for disabled statewide last week. Bartels notes that the state decided 30 years ago to begin moving developmentally disabled people out of state institutions, with the promise that it would take care of them in settings. He said cutting funds that help the disabled is essentially breaking that promise.
