the only thing that we have is the breast and cervical screening program at CDC, which the women of Congress initiated.

But, Doctor, isn't that true of any clinical trial? Some get the treatment, and some do not; some get the diagnosis, and some do not.

Thank you very much, Senator Murray, for your compliments but most of all for your ongoing advocacy.

My question is this, Doctor. You have read the Danish study of Drs. Olsen and Gotzsche...

I extend a warm welcome to Dr. Andrew von Eschenbach, the new Director of the National Cancer Institute, as he testifies at his first hearing.

I am frustrated myself. I called this hearing to get some answers for American women.

We have got to be Team USA here.

But not for the poor.

In the absence of clarity, I'm concerned that these conflicting studies give an excuse to insurance companies to stop paying for mammograms.

I do believe that mammograms save lives, and we need to know when is the best time to get them.

Mammography is not perfect, but it is the best screening tool we have now.

Bravo, bravo for that.

We welcome your commentary on these two studies that essentially dispute what you have just said.

This year Congress must reauthorize the Mammography Quality Standards Act, because women must continue to have safe, quality mammograms.

Women don't know who to believe or what they should do--do they get a mammogram or not?

I urge my colleagues to support this worthwhile measure.

Muhammad Ali, the greatest boxer of all time once said that 'service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.'

The naming of a postal building in one's honor is truly a salute to their accomplishments and public service.
