On the recordFebruary 2, 2015
The Medical Preparedness Allowable Use Act is a good bill, and it has my support. The gentleman from Florida has given us a piece of commonsense legislation, and this is the type of legislation, when it comes to keeping our Nation safe during times of attack or natural disaster, that we need. I also urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to support the passage of a clean DHS funding bill so that the States and urban areas across the country can continue building and maintaining critical preparedness capabilities. Again, I would like to thank the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Bilirakis) for working with us on this issue, and I congratulate him on a wonderful bill that ensures that our Nation continues to be prepared in times of disaster. I urge my colleagues to support H.R. 361, the Medical Preparedness Allowable Use Act. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
