If this partisan bill becomes law, I believe innovation for therapies to treat neurological diseases will come to a full stop.
As Congresswoman McMorris Rodgers just mentioned, recently we saw an almost miraculous effect of genomic therapies in spinal muscular atrophy.
If I were to support this, I need more confidence and trust in the oversight and management of the $44 billion in taxpayer funding going to NIH now ... including a clear picture on how much of that goes toward research in China.

Imagine what it would mean if we unlocked the mysteries of the twenty-first chromosome.

I implore you to resist the urge to take your focus off consumer protections.
As I have said before, Republicans support providing the FTC with the tools they need to pursue bad actors and to sufficiently enforce privacy standards.
I am concerned when we hear reports of individuals inside the FTC being silenced and your other Commissioners being shut out of the process.
Sadly, the partisan process on 13(b) was also a missed opportunity to enact a national privacy standard--something we desperately need.
