On the recordJanuary 23, 1995
last week, I returned to my district to attend a very sad funeral. Little Kelsey O'Niel was more than a neighbor girl; she was like a member of the family. She was the embodiment of the term ``cute as a bugs ear.'' She died suddenly last Sunday night as the result of an acute asthma attack. Not even an act of Congress can bring Kelsey back. But, we can bring some equity to the division of research dollars that the Federal Government provides. Diseases that take our children must be a much higher priority. We can also loosen the regulations that the Food and Drug Administration [FDA] and other agencies impose on new treatments and technologies. If we can prevent even a few future such sad events, then our efforts will be more than worth it. Kelsey I will never forget you.
