Roy Blunt: “On this committee with Senator Cantwell's leadership, it always happens that we are always treated fairly and equitably.”

I know I am leaving the Committee in good hands as Senator Fischer moves into the position of Ranking Member at the beginning of the next Congress.

I look forward to seeing this bill on the floor sometime between now and the end of this year.

when I gave my first speech on the Senate floor 12 years ago or when I cast my first vote in the House 26 years ago, I had really no way to anticipate the challenges and opportunities that were ahead of us. I come to the floor today…

Please continue this commitment and provide timely investments public health and research programs at the CDC and in the NIH.
