“There are 27 institutes in the National Institutes of Health. One of them happens to deal with diabetes. The number one is cancer. And for those of us who have experienced it, and for African- American women and others who have the triple negative trait, breast cancer, the research of the NIH is crucial. Or Dr. Fauci's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Dr. Peter Hotez, in Houston, head of Baylor Infectious Diseases, understands Ebola and Zika. We need these resources. What an outrage to cut, in the skinny budget, $6 billion. So we may push this to another 7 days, but I can tell you that we are pushing the hearts and minds of Americans. We are creating a disaster. And I can't appreciate the fact that law enforcement will be losing funding. The Department of Justice and the Civil Rights Division, in spite of who is leading that Department, it is a Department for the vulnerable. So I thank the gentleman for providing me with this time, but I wanted to make sure that we added this long litany of those who will be negatively impacted and that America is not about that. America is about serving all of the people of the United States. Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I thank the gentlewoman for her remarks. I thank the chairman of the Rules Committee for his indulgence.…”
