Sherrod Brown: “I would again ask the House support of this amendment. The House has moved in the right direction in tuberculosis…”

“I would again ask the House support of this amendment. The House has moved in the right direction in tuberculosis funding over the last 4 years. The House of Representatives and the Senate and the President by signing the legislation in the past have not just pushed the ball forward but have been the catalyst for other nations around the world, especially Canada, the Netherlands and philanthropists around the world to fully fund more antituberculosis efforts. It has made a difference and saved hundreds of thousands of lives around the world. We have the opportunity to do even more. I ask the House support for the Brown-Wilson-Morella-Andrews-Green amendment.”
