“I'd like to submit letters of support from the following organizations into the Record: the Alliance for Biosecurity, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Biotechnology Industry Organization, or BIO, the Roundtable on Critical Care Policy, and a joint letter from four public health organizations. Those are the American Public Health Association, the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials, the National Association of County and City Health Officials, and the Trust for America's Health. I yield back the balance of my time. Alliance for Biosecurity, Office of the Secretary and Legal Counsel, Washington, DC, December 17, 2012. Hon. Mike Rogers, Rayburn House Office Building, Washington, DC. Dear Representative Rogers: On behalf of the Alliance for Biosecurity, I write in strong support of the Pandemic All- Hazards Preparedness Reauthorization Act of 2012 (H.R. 6672). The Alliance for Biosecurity is a collaboration of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies working to develop medical countermeasures (MCMs) to prevent and treat diseases associated with bioterrorism and emerging infectious diseases. It is essential to our nation's safety that this bill is passed by the House and Senate before the end of the 112th Congress. As you know, the chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) threat is real and growing.…”
