John Shimkus: “I want to thank Chairman Deal of the subcommittee for his work on this…”

On the recordDecember 17, 2005

I want to thank Chairman Deal of the subcommittee for his work on this legislation, also Ranking Member Brown, and I think they accurately have mentioned what this legislation does. It wants to hold off these regulations that are decades old for new science and new technology and for safety and cost and efficiency and all those things. I just want to take this time to thank Dr. James Miller, who runs a lab in Fayette County Hospital in Vandalia, Illinois, for always keeping me updated on issues facing the laboratory community. In my district and across the country, we already have a shortage of medical lab technicians. These proficiency testing regulations would further reduce access to cytology services. I urge my colleagues to support this legislation, H.R. 4568. {time} 1530
