On the recordJuly 30, 1997
Like my co-chair, the gentleman from Washington [Mr. Nethercutt], I want to see that this budget contains good news for 16 million Americans, 16 million Americans who suffer from diabetes, including my own beloved daughter, Amanda. Thanks to my good friends, the gentleman from Florida, [Mr. Bilirakis], Mr. Brown, and the 87 members of the Diabetes Caucus, we have put together a strong, bipartisan effort that will truly make a difference to the lives of people with diabetes. I want to thank the gentleman from Florida [Mr. Bilirakis], who is the chairman of our committee, and all the diabetes organizations who worked so hard on this.
