I just respond to the Senator from Maryland by commending her for her very strong statement, her commitment, and a resoluteness to this issue in the hope that women get the best health care in America. She has shown strong leadership on this issue throughout the years. As she mentioned, we worked on women's health issues beginning in the House of Representatives in making some extraordinary changes within the National Institutes of Health to create an Office of Women's Health, which was absolutely vital because women were excluded--as well as minorities, I might add--from clinical studies. I thank the Senator and commend her for all she has done on behalf of women.
