 CORRECTION TO THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD OF JUNE 4, 2002, AT PAGE H3102

  The following version of H. Con. Res. 36 and the amendment in the 
nature of a substitute was inadvertently printed in the Record 
incorrectly. The correct versions are as follows:
  The Clerk read the concurrent resolution, as follows:

                            H. Con. Res. 36

       Whereas over one million Americans suffer from juvenile 
     (Type 1) diabetes, a chronic, genetically determined, 
     debilitating disease affecting every organ system;
       Whereas 13,000 children a year--35 each day--are diagnosed 
     with juvenile diabetes;
       Whereas 17,000 adults a year--46 each day--are diagnosed 
     with juvenile diabetes;
       Whereas juvenile diabetes is one of the most costly chronic 
     diseases of childhood;
       Whereas insulin treats but does not cure this potentially 
     deadly disease and does not prevent the complications of 
     diabetes, which include blindness, heart attack, kidney 
     failure, stroke, nerve damage, and amputations;
       Whereas the Diabetes Research Working Group, a non-partisan 
     advisory board established to advise Congress, has called for 
     an accelerated and expanded diabetes research program at the 
     National Institutes of Health and has recommended a $4.1 
     billion increase in Federal funding for diabetes research at 
     the National Institutes of Health over the next five years; 
     and
       Whereas a strong public private partnership to fund 
     juvenile diabetes exists between the Federal Government and 
     the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, a foundation which has 
     awarded more than $326 million for diabetes research since 
     1970 and will give $100 million in fiscal year 2001: Now, 
     therefore, be it
       Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
     concurring), That Federal funding for diabetes research 
     should be increased in accordance with the recommendations of 
     the Diabetes Research Working Group so that a cure for 
     juvenile diabetes can be found.


     amendment in the nature of a substitute offered by mr. tauzin

  Mr. TAUZIN. Madam Speaker, I offer an amendment to the text.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       Amendment in the nature of a substitute offered by Mr. 
     Tauzin: strike out all after the resolving clause and insert:

     That Federal funding for diabetes research should be 
     increased annually as recommended by the Diabetes Research 
     Working Group so that a cure for juvenile diabetes can be 
     found.
