Political Quotes

“We can celebrate PEPFAR's 10 years of success in saving millions of lives by passing the bipartisan PEPFAR Stewardship and Oversight Act. Nearly 6 million people are receiving life-sustaining anti-retroviral treatments and providing care and support to more than 4.5 million orphans and vulnerable children. That is PEPFAR. This bill extends critical authorities and strengthens program oversight to ensure access to essential prevention and treatment services. Most importantly, this bill extends existing funding requirements for treatment of orphans and vulnerable children. We have brought to the world a tipping point in the fight against AIDS, and I urge all my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on this very important bill. I thank my colleagues, like Barbara Lee, who have supported and initiated this amazing help for saving millions of lives.”
