Washington Update
The 110th Congress will reconvene for a “lame duck” session the week of November 17 to finish up old business. The new 111th Congress will be sworn in after the first of the year. Congressional leaders are currently developing a new economic stimulus package of at least $150 billion and maybe more in preparation for a vote during the lame duck session. The Susan G. Komen for the Cure® Advocacy Alliance is joining other cancer groups in calling for a $1.9 billion increase for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in the economic stimulus package. This would provide essential funding for the NIH and support life-saving cancer research. more... |
