                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 28, 2014

  Ms. FRANKEL of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 
4250, the Sunscreen Innovation Act. This legislation will support the 
important work of the Richard David Kann Melanoma Foundation of Palm 
Beach County, Florida.
  Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer, killing one American 
every fifty minutes. Residents of Florida are especially vulnerable to 
the cancer-causing ultraviolet radiation from the sun. The Sunscreen 
Innovation Act will help Floridians protect themselves with the latest 
radiation-blocking sunscreen ingredients.
  I would like to thank the Richard David Kann Melanoma Foundation for 
their tireless work in preventing and detecting skin cancer, and I urge 
my colleagues to support this legislation. I yield back my time.
