  Mr. LEVIN. Mr. President, I would like to announce for the 
information of the Senate and the public that the Permanent 
Subcommittee on Investigations of the Committee on Governmental Affairs 
will hold hearings entitled ``Diabetes: Is Sufficient Funding Being 
Allocated To Fight This Disease?'' The upcoming hearings will examine 
whether sufficient Federal funding is being allocated to fight 
diabetes. The subcommittee intends to hear from children suffering from 
the disease, celebrities affected by diabetes, scientists, and business 
leaders who will explain the toll that this disease has on individuals 
who suffer from it, its impact on society, and current research 
opportunities to find a cure. The hearing will be held in conjunction 
with the second Juvenile Diabetes Foundation Children's Congress.
  The hearing will take place on Tuesday, June 26, 2001, at 10 a.m., in
