Harold E. Hughes U.S. SENATE (RET.) 7222 WEST ST. JOHN ROAD GLENDALE ARIZONA 85308 July 17, 1995 Mr. Carl E. Olsen P.0. Box 4091 Des Moines, Iowa 50333 Dear Mr. Olsen: Thank you for your recent letter enclosing the most recent status report on legislative and judiciary action relating to the medical use of marijuana. I now spend most of my time outside the boundaries of Iowa, and actually live in Arizona. I'm simply not available for participation on a local basis. I do support the medical use of marijuana and sincerely hope some relief can be gained from federal restrictions. This probably will require action in the Congress rather than Iowa. I would suggest seeking advice, if you already haven't, from your Congressional offices as to how to proceed. I wish you well. Sincerely, Harold E. Hughes HEH:hj
