                                   S. Res. 93

           Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate that--
           (1) to protect the health, economic vitality, and national
         security of the people of the United States, the operations
         of the National Institutes of Health, including funding
         research on childhood cancers, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes,
         heart disease, infectious disease, amyotrophic lateral
         sclerosis, and other diseases and conditions, should not be
         subject to any interruption, delay, or funding disruption in
         violation of the law; and
           (2) the workforce of the National Institutes of Health,
         comprised of scientists, researchers, and medical
         professionals, is essential to sustaining medical progress,
         and any interference with its work undermines efforts to
         develop life-saving treatments, weakens the biomedical
         research enterprise, and threatens the Nation's ability to
         respond to public health challenges.
