As a conservative Republican I rise in strong support of the Shays-Nadler-Crowley-Morella amendment. I am a member of the Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education of the Committee on Appropriations, and we recently went to NIH. We saw a young man that had contracted HIV in 1989. Because of medicines, he has bought a home, he has hope in his life, he has bought stocks and bonds, but he still has a difficult time. I think this is a noteworthy amendment, and I think fiscal conservatives and people that care about people will realize this is a well-intentioned amendment. I strongly support it.
