going to do to try to implement president obama's initiative and partner with congresswoman rosa delauro and i to reduce the need for abortion? >> well, congressman, i think an enormous challenge that we face and one that something i've been working on in my home state of kansas for a number of years and one that i think brings together people who have varying views on abortion services are now some common ground and the notion that if we can work providing a host of services to reduce unintended pregnancies we therefore reduce by anybody's count the number of abortions that are performed in this country which is i think a ball will allf us could support. so we have a range of services in the hhs i think can help toward that end and it's everything from comprehensive sex education which has already been discussed, affordable available health care is an important piece of that puzzle. there are adoption incentives, which worked along the way. early childhood education support for women, a range of programs for women and girls that provide an environment where they have options and choices

delauro, mr. courtney and harry teague. i, too, am i larmed at the statistic comesing out of the armed services. nearly 150 soldiers took their lives last year. the highest figure since the wars in iraq and afghanistan began. in 2009, there's already 64 potential active duty army suicides. one to one mental health screen wgs a certified mental health professional is the least we can offer to our service men and women who sacrifice so much for this country this creates a well thought out pilot program to assess the feasibility of such screening and hopefully lead to legislation in a broader sense. for this reason, i urge my colleagues here today to support this amendment on behalf of the men and women who serve this cubtry so proud proudly. thank you, and i yield the remainder of my time. the chair: the gentleman from missouri. mr. skelton: i yield two minutes to mr. terry. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for two minutes. mr. terry: i rise in support of this enblank amendment, particularly because it includes two amen

rosa delauro has been tireless and to know that she brings passion and intellect to what she does and so some of the ideas from her legislation our embedded in this. i look forward to our conversation. i hope that what we are asking the fda that you are up to it, i thank you have lived on fees for a long time and i still have questions i like to know directly from you whether he really think you're going to have the resources that are necessary to do this. because if you don't, then and the printing of the legislation or law will be wonderful to revive some constitutions around the world that are absolutely magnificent but they're not worth the paper they're written on. we have fallen off the edge of a cliff in terms of what's coming into the country and what's happened to the american people. we have to get this right this time. some think that there should be a stand-alone for inspection agency. can the fda actually do all of this? do you have the resources for it? i mean, if there is pizza that has pepperoni on a curse is pizza that doesn't have any meat on it should there be a spl

i strongly support congresswoman rosa delauro's bill, senator tom harkin's bill. we need to get that because it will change how we respond to the stimulus. we need a range of tools. i was giving a talk at google and went into the cafeteria and it was striking. there is either a red, yellow or green sign right in your face and i will tell you it has a real affect. red means eat small amount for taste, yellow, each a moderate amount common dream as much as you want. i was in charge of regulating food and i tell you it had a major affect on me. we have to change how we proceed stimulus and we have to have greater disclosure. we have to change -- we don't stop with just manual labor. what is served in the schools, with the vending machines -- parents, it's so hard you try as hard as you can and the kids are being stimulated with fat, sugar and salt. they have to change how we regulate advertising manual labor is a key step changing how we perceive the product. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >> good afternoon. a quick question despite your comments on rules we c
