Roy Blunt: “When there is an incident, the one thing you can assume that Congress will do is overreact.”

We especially thank Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services (HHS), Education Chairman Roy Blunt and Ranking Member Patty Murray for their unwavering support for the NIH.

It has been great to work with you in this divided Congress as you become Chairwoman.

They decided to change the rules. I suspect that changes the Senate in fundamental ways forever.

I think you have completed about 75 percent of those.
