I rise today to express my unequivocal support for the Stamp Out Breast Cancer Act. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank from the bottom of my heart the gentleman from New York [Mr. McHugh] and the gentleman from Indiana [Mr. Burton] for their support, their guidance, their attention and all their important contributions in developing this stronger bill. Finally, I would like to thank and salute the gentleman from California [Mr. Fazio] for his assistance in leading the fight to craft a bipartisan bill on an issue so close to all of us. For the first time in our Nation's history, the Stamp Out Breast Cancer Act will give Americans, every American, the opportunity to become more personally involved in funding breast cancer research. This legislation will allow all of us to contribute to the effort to put an end to what is now an incurable disease by giving us all the option of purchasing a specifically issued first class stamp. That is one of the beauties of this bill. It is a completely voluntary method of raising money for a worthwhile cause.
