On the recordOctober 15, 2007
In closing, visual impairments can have lifelong consequences for children. As we have heard, this bill will help identify these impairments early so that our kids can live up to their full potential. This bill and the others that preceded it are prime examples of bipartisan cooperation. I urge my colleagues to support this bill and those that have preceded it. And I also thank the gentleman from New York (Mr. Fossella) for his assistance in expeditiously, yet comprehensively, managing the nine vital important and bipartisan health bills that were before us this afternoon.
