Political Quotes

“I wish to thank Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah, Senator Schumer, the Presiding Officer, and Senator Durbin for joining me in the first amendment I will be offering to increase funding for the Maternal and Child Health Block Grant. This amendment that I will be calling up is supported by a large coalition of organizations, and I ask unanimous consent that the list of organizations and letter from the organizations be printed in the Record at this point. As organizations committed to improving the health of America's women, children, and families, we urge you to support full funding for the Title V Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Services Block Grant. Full funding at the authorized level of $850 million will enable all states and territories to provide vital public health and health care services to millions of women, infants and children, including children and youth with special health care needs.”
