If we are not able to stop the Ebola epidemic in West Africa, the risks are very high that it would spread to other parts of Africa because of travel within Africa.
I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Gene Green). (Mr. GENE GREEN of Texas asked and was given permission to revise and extend his remarks.)
A ban or quarantine would hinder efforts to fight the epidemic in West Africa, and the worse the epidemic becomes in West Africa, the greater it is going to be a problem all over the world including the United States.
We have to make sure that we monitor health care workers because they are exposed to people who have Ebola.
