but we have now laid bare what are those risks. >> narrator: the n.i.h. had never treated a case of kpcefore. and as the patient was brought into the icu, the staff was determined to keep the kpc from spreading to other patients. >> we immediately went on high alert, the equivalent of hospital epidemiology def-con 5. and we tried to implement as many things as we could think of, at the time, to prevent any further spread of the organism in the hospital. >> they called it kpc, and so we learned later that was klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemasand that's a mouthful. but we really didn't know what that meant. >> the patient was placed in what we call enhanced contact isolation, which means everybody who went in the room, including visitors, had to wear gloves and gowns. >> narrator: the room was at the end of the hall, separate from other patients. >> let me just check your blood sugar, okay? >> narrator: but this was the intensive care unit, where patients are very sick and highly vulnerable, and that presented heightened risks. >> it's the kind of place where the bacteria can spread with

and other sorts of medical research through the n.i.h. increasingly d.o.d. dollars are disease and hing it's taking dollars away from the sorts of injuries and diseases that our military does confront. this is a trend that is getting worse and worse each year. so i don't necessarily oppose the gentleman's amendment. as he points out, there's research going on here, but it's a trend i do think we have to be cautious about. and for that reason, i want to at least raise a warning flag about the trend to add to the amount of money and the number of diseases which we are looking to the department of defense to help research, diseases which are not related necessarily to key functions of the department of defense. i appreciate the gentleman letting me express my concern. the chair: the gentleman from massachusetts is recognized. mr. keating: the department of defense, the defense health program could be pushed beyond its capacity. it's very important to recognize what he recognized because if it gets too far, it can't accomplish the things that it's working to rea

and even re from n.i.h. and the alternative, strong budget cuts or n.i.h. and c.d.c. would benefit from public health threats. these are the things that we, the members of the congressional black caucus are seeing that are happening in these first six months. we are concerned. we are not here just to bash the president. that is not the objective with bringing these issues out but to make the american people aware to call on our colleagues here in this house and the senate to be better stewards of what the american people have given us, the ability, the right, the job of legislating, the job of being a check and balance to an administration, which has been of t in a mara smp se ineffectiveness and inaction to support the american people of this great country. we are asking, mr. speaker, that we would wake up to what's happening, see with clear eyes, not with fake news, not with our own vision of what we would like things to be, but what things are and where this is taking us now. the people who are going to be left behind, that a better deal needs to be made for the am

along 355, you can see the construction across from n.i.h.but soon you may feel or even hear it. >> it will be more like pop. it's not a major noise. but it will seem bigger because we're including explosives. >> they will start blasting in the ground below 355 to create the space for new elevator sht medical center metro station. prior to the blast, horns will go off to alert of blast and traffic will be halted. >> it's not going to be in rush hour. we are not planning for weekend blasts but there may be down the road. there may be anywhere from two to five blasts a week. brianne: this is part of the larger 355 brac crossing project that includes digging a new pedestrian tunnel under the road to make it safer for pedestrians like joe moore who have to cross with traffic. >> a lot of times the lights, only like 20 to 30 seconds to get across. it's not enough time. >> it comes as the need for the pedestrian and the bike safety increases. since the brac changes, the pedestrian crossings have more than doubled from 3,000 to 7,000 a day. >> take

by the way, thank goodness we got ahead of -- a head of n.i.h., a guy who broke the code on the human genome, dr. collins. it includes the fields of astronomy, how about nasa, and it includes the origin of the universe quantum physics in multiple agencies. this disturbing trend of hiefding the truth -- of hiding the truth if it doesn't match their rhetoric is a trend that's spreading across all levels of government. if information can't be removed from the public domain all together, then guess what they try to do? try to discredit. look, for example of what's been done right now in an effort to pass this disastrous republican health bill. instead of, as i just made our comments preparatory to this science subject, instead of trying to work together on a bipartisan bill aimed at improving our nation's health care system, some on the other side of the aisle have resorted to attacking who? attacking the nonpartisan congressional budget office after it said the bill will take health care coverage away from tens of millions of people. the nonpartisan c.b.o. is just that. it's nonpartisan.

and that's how people get to the white house and the capitol and to go to the pentagon and to go see n.i.h. and to visit the museums and the battlefields and so on. so the metro is critical, not just for the people who hi and work here every day and make the federal government go, but also to all american citizens who rely on efficiency of the federal government and come to washington to petition for a redress of grievances and to partake in the processes of government. i'm thrilled that this legislation is moving forward with speed now, it's essential that we continue to invest in the metro, to upgrade its safety, to upgrade its efficiency and reliability. the federal government was instrumental in the creation of metro at the gange long with virginia, maryland and the district of columbia. we all send representatives to the board of metro. the federal government has members on the board of metro. we are equal partners in it. i want to make sure that everyone here in congress feels deeply invested in the success of metro which, after all, gets a lot of our staffers to work every day. with

do you need a national science foundation funding to continue >> n.i.h.eeps you up at night it's one word, government. industry, the factors that drive our demand really are multi -- multiple one is the r&d generated by the private sector which is about $180 billion a year and has had increases every year, the n.i.h. and other government funding is about $40 billion and luckily it's been pretty stable, philanthropy today is about $30 billion in the medical research which years ago didn't really exist, and about another $15 billion of venture so you have an over $200 billion of r&d per year going into this sector which really drives space demand >> so $120, right now the reit, the units i guess, yeah? >> it's a share. >> that's a share. okay >> up about 93% over the last three years. >> it is the yield is almost 3% you buy it for both yield and -- >> correct we've given reits have two parts of growth, one is internal growth from existing assets, ours this year is predicted to be 6%, which is at the high end of reits, and external growth to be approaching t

in -- n.i.h. in their chame opinion dr chimpanzee research they said technologies are more accurate and less expensive than animal testing. the u.s. military is moving away rom using live animals for training. the los angeles v.a. announced it's suspending controversial and gruesome experiments on a colony of dobermans. it's time for the roves the v.a. to do the same thing. this amendment is supported by the humane society, the animal welfare institute and the white coat waste project. it's estimated that 44% of all households, you heard my colleagues mention this, in the united states have a dog. they are -- in our culture they are considered cherished pets and they're a member of the family, they're not to be used for experiments. even veterans themselves depend on dogs on the battle feel and at home for therapy. i urge my colleagues to support the amendment and that's just he way it is. the chair: the gentlelady's time has expired. the gentleman from texas yields back. mr. poe: the gentleman fr

specifically our bill will create grants at the c.d.c., n.i.h. and usda to fund heart-health research and promotion among south asian populations. we hope through doing this that we can help save lives, develop tools and support valuable research that can broadly benefit the american public. thank you, mr. speaker. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from california seek recognition? without objection. mr. lamalfa: thank you, mr. speaker. i'm pleased that the house is able to pass the extension of the veterans' choice act, funding for an additional six months, to allow veterans to have choices, the ability to not wait in long lines, long lists, and have local proximity to treatment and care that they need. we need to do much more on this in the future, but with today's action, at least we can sustain that program for an additional amount of time and serve our veterans who served us so well. veterans' choice act is a good outlet, a good opportunity, for them to receive the care they nee
