On the recordJune 21, 2007
I thank my good friend for your important work in Africa and for your observations. I rise to accept this amendment, and I agree with the intention of the amendment. I really do thank my friend for raising this very important issue. This committee made global health a priority in this fiscal year. We provided a total of $6.517 billion for global health. And I do agree with the gentlewoman that strengthening the public health infrastructure should be central to our global health strategy. So I do appreciate the gentlewoman's interest in this issue, and I look forward to working with you.
