polio, using the salk d . david bennett: withhese tools, particularly the oral vaccine which is very-- relatively easy to use, and very effective, we felt we could undertake eradication of polio from the americas, embarked upon that, and then by 1991, had seen the last case of wild polio virus in peru-- the last case for the entire americas. in 1988... i think as a result of some pressure from the americas, the world health assembly agreed that the world would take on the effort to eradicate polio. we still have polio in the indian subcontinent, in parts of the middle east, and across much of central and eastern africa, so the challenge is pretty big. we are making headway; the immunization levels are going up. national immunization days-- polio days are being held around the world. it is very, very important, particularly for people in the united states and other relatively wealthy countries to understand, that this is one small boat. and we may be in the more affluent part of the boat, but we're still in the same boat, and it's in our interest to help everybody understand their health and deal with their hea

polio research. that effort funded the research by doctors sauk and sabin that produced the vaccines to eradicate polio in the united states and much of the world. in the quest for a vaccine, the march of dimes supported many other research milestones in newborn and child health. for example in 1953, the march of dimes grantee dr. james watson identified the double helix structure of d.n.a. and in 1962 won the nobel prize for mapping the human genome. another research breakthrough, mr. speaker, came in 1960 when the march of dimes supported research that developed the first screening test for p.k.u., a rare metabolic genetic disorder that caused intellectual disabilities. since that time, the march of dimes has led the effort to expand newborn screening. now every baby born in the united states receives screening for dozens of conditions that have the potential to cause catastrophic health problems or death if not detected and treated properly at birth. today the march of dimes is leading the nation's effort to reduce premature birthday. -- birth. every year nearly half a million infants are born far t
