On the recordMarch 31, 2008
This is an important bill and I do encourage my colleagues to support this bill. Have the test, find the polyp, get the cure. It's really that simple. One of the problems with serving in Congress is you recognize that we move so slowly on so many things. There are going to be new medicines, new tests. We're on the threshold of great things in all areas of medicine. The study of colon cancer is no small part of that. But the reality is today there is a test, there is a test that can be easily done. A cure is just around the corner for someone who might suffer from this disease. So I urge my colleagues to support this important legislation.
