On the recordDecember 3, 2014
I am honored to be joined with my distinguished friend and extraordinary colleague Senator Harkin of Iowa to support continued funding of the Prevention and Public Health Fund. He has been a leader in this area, so I am particularly privileged to stand with him on behalf of a fund that is absolutely necessary to address prevention of serious and chronic diseases. It is fiscally and morally and absolutely essential that we approach health care in this way. I am going to ask for permission to continue to speak. I am not sure what the allotted time is. If there is no objection, I ask unanimous consent for the time through 5 o'clock for myself, Senator Harkin, and others who may join us in this colloquy. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
