Barbara Mikulski: “We appreciate the continued leadership of committee members Senators Kennedy, Brown, Hatch, Enzi, and Bingaman on this…”

I just want to comment. On June 4, we are going to hold our hearing on the FBI budget request.

We especially thank Senate Appropriations Chairman Thad Cochran and Vice-Chairwoman Barbara Mikulski for their unwavering support for the NIH.

It will be a proud day for our country when every girl who visits the National Mall is able to see herself represented amongst the giants of our national story.

As the longest serving woman in congressional history, I proudly stand on the shoulders of the suffragists who fought bravely and boldly for generations to secure women's political equality.
