We are not organized as a Government to effectively and quickly respond to either pandemics or bioterror because the authorities are diffuse.

I think it makes all of the sense in the world to eliminate that level of bureaucracy, put the contracting back at BARDA where it belongs.

If they see a system that's uncertain due to lack of certainty that these products will be procured, they're going to put their money elsewhere.

The only thing that stands between these pandemic viruses and intentional bioterror attacks... is, frankly, a handful of private companies in this country who were willing to take the risk of developing countermeasures.

It's clear and it's obvious that their intention is to kill as many infidels and apostates as they possible can.

The threat growing while the capacity to defend against it is decreasing?--the answer to that question is absolutely yes.

We are underprepared to respond to these threats, and we must take immediate steps to be better prepared.

The Nation is underprepared for a bioattack because we still lack centralized biodefense leadership.

Who says bipartisanship is dead?

I think that people need to understand that when one has given 24 years of one's life to public service, that doesn't mean that they owe the next 24 years of their lives.

I would think it would be that you were at the helm when this Congress passed prescription drug benefit for seniors. It is an historic accomplishment, and the gentleman should be proud of it. I know he is. The other people who are proud of…

In March 1995, Tammy Watts from Arizona and her husband Mitch made the agonizing decision to end a wanted pregnancy at 28 weeks gestation. It would have been their first child. The fetus, however, had extensive, ultimately lethal…

My point was that contrary to the argument that the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Smith) made that the purpose of this research is strictly for the exploitation and destruction of human life is wrong, this is about hope. This is about…

The gentleman proposes in his response to my question that women of America are going to line up for dollars so they can be superovulated, and it is the most ridiculous and disrespectful attitude towards women I can imagine. To think that…

Reclaiming my time once again, I am not sure, with all due respect, that my friend from New Jersey understands this process. You cannot, you cannot, you cannot take one cloned entity and multiply it. You have to go back and get another…

We cannot, we cannot get the reforms that are required to protect the investor in this country until we lance the boil. We have to pick the scab. We have to open the wound, look at it, allow it to be seen by the American people, to show…

Mr. Speaker, we are at a time of national crisis; and, ultimately, our success will depend partly upon our superiority when it comes to technology and to our military equipment. Ultimately, our success over the coming months and years and…

Dr. Okarma, who testified at our hearings, spoke of how they have taken mice who had damaged hearts, they used somatic cell nuclear transfer to take the cells of the mice, turn them into pluripotent stem cells, and then into heart cells…

This is not a question about who has values and who stands for human life and who does not. It is a very legitimate and important and historic debate about how it is that we are able to use the DNA that God put into our own bodies, use the…

AIDS is clearly the worst epidemic in modern history. It is a tragedy, and it has struck down so many millions of people around the world. But of all of its victims, certainly the children, the newborns, are the most innocent and the ones…

This clearly is, if not the number one issue in America, certainly ought to be. There is still time to resolve this issue. All we need to do is to work with the House and the Senate and the President together and, in fact, we can all be…

And if I may, that is before we even apply the Federal contribution to the actual price of the item. So that 75 is cut in half. And, of course, we pay 100 percent of the remainder for the low-income and for middle-class folks, a half. So…

The problem is that the Medicare+Choice programs have been ratcheting back their benefits. They have been providing, they used to provide relatively generous prescription drug benefits, but they are pulling back. They are pulling back…

Once again, I appreciate that. As the gentleman pointed out, the United States Congress has done a great deal, particularly with the leadership of the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Saxton), in reducing the pollution that the United States…
