On June 12, 2008, the following response was received from the AMA:
"Thank you for your comments. I will forward them to the appropriate staffers who will share them with the reference committee members.
I might note that at this time, the resolutions are proposals and should not be read as anything more than that. They may or may not become AMA policy. The democratic nature of the House of Delegates affords members the chance to introduce items of business for consideration by the entire body; some of those items are embraced while others are rejected, but none is AMA policy unless and until adopted by action of the House.
Should you wish to follow the outcome of the resolutions (303 is now 232), you will be able to find the information next week at http://www.ama-assn.org/go/hod (no later than Wednesday, June 18).
Please share my comments with your colleagues as the number of emails I have received precludes individual responses to every correspondent. Thank you in advance.
