Political Quotes

“Again, section 317 funding increase is supported by the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Public Health Association, and this increase is also supported by the Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs, Every Child by Two, the Association of State and Territorial Health Officers, and the Association of County and City Health Officials. Most important, an increase in the 317 funds, Mr. Chairman, is supported by the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Young), and our subcommittee chairman, the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Porter), and my good friend, the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Hoyer). Again, I want to thank the chairman for his support; and hopefully in conference committee we will get that additional funding if we can see the allocations increase.”
