                                 ______
                                 

                               speech of

                         HON. DAVID G. REICHERT

                             of washington

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 13, 2007

  Mr. REICHERT. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of House 
Resolution 760, which recognizes October as Children's Health Month and 
supports the goals and ideals of this annual designation.
  I was proud to introduce this resolution with Representative Kathy 
Castor. As cochairmen of the Congressional Children's Health Care 
Caucus, we are committed to building bipartisan support for efforts to 
facilitate access to care for the uninsured, seek cures for 
debilitating diseases and chronic conditions, and promote preventive 
health and wellness measures for America's children.
  This resolution recognizes the importance of raising awareness of 
children's health needs and commends the health care professionals who 
provide for them. It also reaffirms our Nation's commitment to 
improving children's health and encourages State officials, non-profit 
organizations and businesses to join the House in supporting these 
objectives.
  I am grateful for the enthusiastic backing this resolution enjoys 
from more than 100 Members spanning both sides of the aisle, and I urge 
all of my colleagues to support its passage.

                          ____________________
