“I yield myself the rest of our time. I've participated in some very intense debates on this House floor. And these are times that, on a bill like we have before us today, where truly we all come together. It's beyond bipartisanship, as people have heard from the rather dramatic and emotional testimony from all of the Members who have testified here today. Because there is nothing more emotional than a child who has been diagnosed with a cancer. There is just nothing more traumatic to a parent, to a family. And if there is anything that we can do as a congressional body to try and alleviate that type of pain a family could suffer in the future, we should undertake that. And we've done it here today. I want to thank Deborah Pryce for her strength, not only in her testimony here on the floor today, but for the years that she has continued to work this issue and push it forward to its House conclusion today. I also want to just thank Mr. Pallone and Mr. Dingell, who participated in this bill and made sure that it moved through our committee in a timely way and onto the House floor, as well as Mr. Van Hollen and so many other supporters of this bill. Many thanks go out to them. So we should be proud, as Mr. McCaul and many speakers said, of our efforts here today. I encourage every single member of our conference on this side of the aisle to join me in supporting the Caroline Pryce Walker Conquer Childhood Disease Act.”
