Thank you for your recent e-mail message to my office.  Your views are very important to me, and I appreciate you taking the time to share your comments and concerns.  I like to respond individually to every letter, phone call, and e-mail message sent to my office.  However, because of a variety of reasons, I am unable to respond via e-mail.  If you included your address in your e-mail, I'll be writing you back via the U.S. Mail shortly.  If you did not included an address and would like a reply to your message, please send me your full name and mailing address along with your concern.  Additionally, for security reasons, please keep in mind that I am unable to open and read attachments to any e-mail. 

Once again, thank you for contacting me, I appreciate hearing from you.

                                        Sincerely,

                                        Patrick J. Kennedy
