Dear Senator Dole:
It has come to our attention that the Senate Finance Committee will soon begin deliberations on upcoming tax legislation. In this current economic climate, The Cerebral Palsy Research Foundation of Kansas and its sister organization, United Cerebral Palsy of Kansas, need the support of the tax code to maintain and expand individual giving. I would like to ask you for your support of a full deductibility of appreciated property as an important incentive to encourage individual giving. A disincentive which we have found to giving is the 3% floor on itemized deductions. We would like to ask you and the committee to please repeal this disincentive. We also would like the Committee to consider a legislative solution to a proposed IRS expanded interpretation of corporate sponsorship of charitable events as an unrelated business income tax, as this would effect The United Cerebral Palsy Association telethon in the future. Both the Cerebral Palsy Research Foundation and United Cerebral Palsy depend on corporate and individual giving to maintain services at current levels at a time of reduced government support. We know, Senator Dole, that you have been very supportive of our program and those of other disability organizations. We would like you to consider these suggestions. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to give me a call at any time.

Sincerely yours,
Patrick A. Terick
Director of Governmental Activities
