I thank the Senator. Based on that interpretation and my understanding that the Senator will ensure the conference report includes language that makes clear that a dependent child will be protected from discrimination under this legislation regardless of when the genetic information was acquired, including any information gained from ante- and prenatal testing, I will support the bill. I congratulate Senator Enzi and thank him for his hard work and for the colloquy.
