This morning I had the pleasant surprise of receiving a call from Saul Kent.
He had an update on his FDA campaign that I have appended below.  (Although
I attempted to write this verbatim, any errors in transcription are mine.)
In addition to the issues already addressed in previous messages, one
perspective you might put on this is that efforts to ensure our right of
access to nutritional supplements today may also give us good practice in
learning how to secure our rights to cryonic suspension later.

Call for Demonstrations
Rockville, MD FDA HQ

The FDA says it will have Saul Kent and Bill Faloon arrested on or about
October 1, 1991.  The FDA further threatens to have them thrown in jail
and denied bail BEFORE trial.  (An action that would be in violation of
the 8th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.)  If the FDA carries out these
unconstitutional acts, it will become necessary for the members of the
Life Extension Foundation (and other concerned citizens) to protect them
as vigorously as possible.  Your letters of protests against the FDA's KGB
tactics have been extremely helpful.  Please keep them up.
But in the event these letters fail to stop the FDA, we will have to take
more dramatic action.  If Kent and Faloon are jailed, the Foundation will
be holding protest demonstrations in S. Florida and we need YOUR help to
make these demonstrations large enough and vocal enough to force the
authorities to release Kent and Faloon from jail.
Other demonstrations are planned at FDA headquarters in Rockville, MD.
If you are willing to protest in demonstrations, please call immediately
at 1-800-841-5433.
                                       Saul Kent
