Charles Robb said "I thank my colleague and I say to my friends, we have in Norfolk, Virginia, a medical center--the Diabetes Institutes at the Eastern Virginia Medical School--which is distinguished for its work in diabetes research, education, and clinical care. The Diabetes Institutes is interested in establishing a research program with the Veterans' Administration to reduce the cost of care to veterans with diabetes. The House of Representatives included report language in support of the diabetes Institutes in this regard, and I wondered if the Chairman and ranking member of the subcommittee here in the Senate would be willing to work to retain the House language in conference." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
