This message from Richard Suzman at the NIA describes enhancements to NLMS
data.

>I would like to mention that we now have available for analysis, 5 years
>of Medicare data from 1991 to 1995 and within a month or two we expect
>to have incorporated 6 more years of data covering the period from 1996
>to 2001.
>The availability of these data in our database is an important objective
>of the NLMS inspired, in large part, by the interests of the NIA. Now
>is the time to promote the use of this new feature of the NLMS to the
>research community of the NIA. I would be happy to participate in any
>way to help in the promotion of this extensive new resource to the NIA
>grantees.
