I intend to offer the following motion to commit on older Americans to H.R. 1628 and I ask that it be printed in the Record. The motion is supported by Senators Casey, Leahy, Brown, Harris, Feinstein, Hirono, Blumenthal, Whitehouse…

I agree with you, Senator, that the scientists should not be muzzled and should provide accurate information.
