On the recordJune 5, 2003
a children's health agency has reportedly diverted Federal funds to a study of the sexual predilections of aging men. Now, the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development has provided more than $137,000 for a 3-year study to provide the most comprehensive picture to date of the sexual behavior of aging men. The grants were sent in two fiscal years to the New England Research Institute to examine trends in a range of sexual behavior. Good grief, we talk about budget deficits, and we spend our money like this. We should be ashamed. This money was intended to help children affiliated with pediatric illnesses and diseases, not to study sexual habits of America's senior men. The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development gets my Porker of the Week Award.
