Let me again congratulate Mrs. McCarthy for bringing this to the floor, and constantly, not just here but constantly bringing attention to DBA. Whenever a parent gets bad news on a child and an illness, you know it takes to the heart. And there are so many innovative, wonderful, compassionate health care professionals who try to bring a level of comfort to those families, and I know that here in Congress we do the same and try to bring awareness. And although rare, or rarer than many illnesses, nevertheless, the pain and suffering remains the same. I yield back the balance of my time.
