| Congresswoman Tours Innovative Medical Complex 
               June 14, 2000 Washington, DC - Congresswoman Cynthia A. McKinney (D-Ga) took 
              a tour today of an innovative medical equipment factory during a 
              visit to her district in Georgia. MMG Healthcare manufactures several medical supplies used by hospitals 
              and doctors all across the United States. One of their most innovative 
              products is a catheterization system used for the excavation of 
              bladders and theirs is the only one on the market found to actually 
              prevent urinary tract infections.  While struggling to speak to a captivated crowd of over one hundred 
              employees, McKinney said, "I lost my voice last night while continuing 
              my fight for appropriations for you." "I have been and always will 
              be committed to our high-tech jobs".  The crowd was made up of many residents of her District and they 
              all applauded her for the struggle with her voice and her struggle 
              on behalf of their concerns. The Congresswoman answered questions 
              from the audience and addressed the concerns of several constituents 
              by immediately assigning their problems to her staff.  Sam Khawam, a representative from MMG, said, "We are all very grateful 
              to the Congresswoman for visiting us today and allowing us to let 
              her know how much we appreciate her and the good work she does for 
              us in Congress". "We are especially thankful for her helping us 
              to keep our jobs".  |
