The Asian & Pacific Islander American Health Forum, along with and 68 community-based organizations from all over the country committed to improving the health and well-being of Asian American, Pacific Islander and Native Hawaiian communities and advancing health equity, submitted written testimony to the Senate Committee on the Judiciary for today's hearing on the bipartisan Senate immigration bill, "The Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act" (S.744).

In their testimony, these organizations urged Congress to rethink the barriers their bill places on health care access for immigrants.

72 year old folk singer Richie Havens, who entertained thousands at Woodstock, has died of a heart attack.

I first met Mr. Havens in Greenwich Village and interviewed him later when he returned to the site during the opening of the Woodstock Museum.
