RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Senate that the operations of the National
Institutes of Health should not experience any interruption, delay, or
funding disruption in violation of the law and that the workforce of
the National Institutes of Health is essential to sustaining medical
progress.
Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate that--
(1) to protect the health, economic vitality, and national
security of the people of the United States, the operations of
the National Institutes of Health, including funding research
on childhood cancers, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, heart
disease, infectious disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and
other diseases and conditions, should not be subject to any
interruption, delay, or funding disruption in violation of the
law; and
(2) the workforce of the National Institutes of Health,
comprised of scientists, researchers, and medical
professionals, is essential to sustaining medical progress, and
any interference with its work undermines efforts to develop
life-saving treatments, weakens the biomedical research
enterprise, and threatens the Nation's ability to respond to
public health challenges.
