so as i said to both mr. upton and mr. pitts earlier, we need an advocate of meeting academic needse as well. having said that, i call this the mother ship, this is a big project of data collection, and interprices -- enterprises, academic, could dock into this mother ship and upload their the datanrich the to base and then download data from this set to enhance their abilities to further their research projects, whatever they may be. not a project that would i think cost project, probably order of magnitude you're talking about $100 million a year, but of course when you think about the trillions of dollars of costs avoided be eventually just with alzheimer's, let alone other diseases, would pay for itself. and the people who participate this project would also learn how to better ten though their own health, there by saving the care system dollars. i would argue that in not the few, thatnce everybody will be doing this. everyone will have the genome sequenced at birth, everyone will have these early diagnostic tests done

waxman and mr. upton for working with all of us to bring it to the floor. as well as the staffs on both sides of the aisle. as both mr. tonko and mr. gardner stated, this bill is a technical correction to existing law that will allow external power supply manufacturers to continue to sell service parts compatible with older technology to the benefit of consumers and manufacturers. it's a good piece of legislation and i would urge all the members to support this legislation. i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from kentucky reserves. the gentleman from new york is recognized. mr. tonko: mr. speaker, we have no other speakers. with that i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new york yields back. the gentleman from kentucky virginia tech. mr. whitfield: i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the question is, will the house suspend the rules and pass the bill h.r. 5057, as amended. so many as are in favor say aye. those opposed no. mr. whitfield: i object t

as i said to both mr. upton -- we need to be an advocate of meeting his needs and the academic needs as well. think this that, i is a big project of data collection. so many other enterprises -- academic, commercial, private could dockstigators into this mothership and upload their data to enrich the total database and download data from this set to enhance their abilities to further their research projects, whatever they may be. this is not a project that would be a low-cost project. you are talking about $100 million a year. when you think about the trillions of dollars in costs that can be avoided just with alzheimer's, let alone other diseases, it would pay for itself in spades. the people that participate in this project but also learn how to better tended to their own health and thereby saving the health care system dollars. in the verye not distant future, everybody will be doing this. everybody will have the genome sequence at birth, everyone will have this kind of early diagnostic tests done. the whole
