Dear Mr. Bellefeuille:

Thank you for sending me the Associated Press article about
health care cutbacks for Lucent retirees.  I appreciate hearing
from you again.

Unfortunately, Lucent retirees are not alone in seeing rising
health care premiums and decreased health care benefits.
Many employers are in the midst of doing the same thing.  I
will continue to monitor the situation at Lucent and keep your
situation in mind as Congress considers additional pension
reform legislation.

Thanks again for your email, and please keep in touch.

Patrick Leahy
United States Senator
