One thing that I believe we should try to do across the board, and I appreciated what you said to Senator Voinovich, was to pick up some of the costs for those medical exams, because the Federal Government needs to know what we are…

I cannot express eloquently enough, I am afraid, my personal gratitude and the gratitude of New Yorkers for the extraordinary job that he and his team have done.

Is it fair to say that your testimony today reflecting the NCI position is that all women should get regular mammograms after the age of 40, or is it that women should be provided with information about the benefits and risks which they…

I think that the National Breast Cancer Coalition's constant advocacy on behalf of more resources and better access has been an extremely important part of this debate.

I could not agree more with the point that Fran Visco made about the inequitable distribution of resources with respect to dealing with breast cancer.

I would hope that if there are any Swedes out there, you do not withdraw the audit offer.

Thank you, because as I said earlier, that is a big problem in New York and is becoming a real barrier to access.

I also want to say that there is no way that the National Breast Cancer Coalition would let up on pushing for access to health care for all women and all Americans.

So I am hoping that your very straightforward statement that it is still the recommendation of the National Cancer Institute that women, staring at the age of 40, have mammograms, will give us the ammunition we need to avoid further…

Thank you very much, and thank you for holding this hearing.

I am delighted by the church's success.

I applaud the commitment and the efforts of La Resurreccion United Methodist Church's staff.

It is a privilege for me to represent the 16th district of New York, where the new home of La Resurreccion United Methodist Church is located.

I have witnessed first-hand the exemplary work they are doing for our community and I am deeply impressed.

it is a great privilege for me to pay tribute to Taiwanese-American across the country as we celebrate Taiwanese-American Heritage Week.
