On the recordOctober 7, 2003
The Dr. Samuel D. Harris National Museum of Dentistry is a state-of-the-art facility, as both the chairman and the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Cardin) have pointed out. It is a state-of-the-art facility that uses innovative communication tools to deliver its message about proper oral health care. Its permanent exhibition, '32 Terrific Teeth,' extends over 7,000 square feet on two floors of the building. It provides a vast array of historical artifacts, as has been mentioned; and it is especially important for children. I was particularly glad to hear the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Cardin) talk about the tooth fairy, because we hope that the tooth fairy is kind to the Members and all of the employees with regard to a dental plan here, so I concur with the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Ney) as well. I am very proud, as well, of my home State of Connecticut that has its own place in the annals of dental history in this country.
