John Garamendi: “Mr. Tonko, you continually come back to the compassion and caregiving…”

On the recordJune 16, 2015

Mr. Tonko, you continually come back to the compassion and caregiving that I think each human being has somewhere in them. For us here in Congress, it is to express that in a meaningful way. That meaningful way is to make sure there is support for those families and individuals who have Alzheimer's, those who are caring for them, to make sure that the medical treatment, such as it is for this illness, is available, and to pursue vigorously the research that could and, I believe, will lead to a complete understanding of the illness. That is our task. Mr. Tonko.
