During this ceremonial and celebratory event, which featured performances by musicians from both sides of the partnership, The Philadelphia Orchestra signed an official Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Government of Mongolia. This is the first time that music has been performed in SFRC S-116, one of the most revered diplomatic spaces in the Capitol Building. The MOU documents a cooperative commitment whereby the Orchestra will be in “Residence” to engage in “People-to-People” cultural diplomacy, including two full orchestra concerts, as well as a series of special events throughout Ulaanbaatar. The events will be designed in partnership with Mongolian musicians, local schools and cultural institutions, as well as other civic and government institutions. The Philadelphia Orchestra will be the first Western orchestra to perform in Mongolia. “The Philadelphia Orchestra is steadfast in our support of the State Department’s commitment to innovative cultural diplomacy,” said Orchestra President and CEO Allison Vulgamore. “During our time in Mongolia, in addition to traditional performances, The Philadelphia Orchestra will co-design community-based music activities.

  • Congressional Letters to CMS on Cuts to Radiation Therapy Centers
    Congressional Letters to CMS on Cuts to Radiation Therapy Centers This newsletter previously reported on bipartisan letters circulating in the House and Senate objecting to the 19% cut to radiation therapy centers contained in the CY 2013 Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) Proposed Rule. Those letters were led by Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee Chair Joe Pitts (R-PA) and Energy and Commerce Subcommittee Ranking Member Frank Pallone (D-NJ) in the House and Senate Finance Committee Members Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) and Richard Burr (R -NC) in the Senate. The letters took issue with the magnitude of the cuts to radiation therapy and urged CMS to update all of the inputs to radiation oncology codes under review by the agency, rather than updating only a single input as the agency has done in the Proposed Rule. On September 14, the letters closed with signatures from 104 Representatives and OCTOBER 2012 28 Senators. Both letters have bipartisan support. A list of Members who signed the letters is provided below. By the closing date for sign-on, 1,764 constituent letters and 93 constituent calls were recorded as transmitted to the Congress through the RTA's online portal. The final Senate letter is available here. The final House letter is availablehere .
