ebola continues to threaten west africa and the threat of the virus has declined significantly, thanks in no small part to the investments america has made and the health systems of those countries hardest hit by the epidemic. i think it's one of the proudest chapters in our nation's history of late. i'm very proud of the work done, including by some of you and the folks that you lead. with that said the recent news of more cases in guinea and liberia underlie the need to support our national partners and their efforts to combat this disease. we're almost one year removed from a significant outbreak of a highly pathologic avian flu, which decimated some parts of our poultry industry. the chairmanman's state was badly effected and a number have been in the midwest. and while infections of poultry have been limited in number so far this year thank god, we must remain vigilant and to enforce good biosafety practices at poultry farms across the country to safe guard against another epidemic. meanwhile, we're quickly approaching the mosquito season. in most parts of the united states this p

in 2014 ebola broke out in west africa. as it advanced the international community came together to combat the outbreak. doctors from around the world traveled to west africa to set up emergency hospital units to help the sick and to attempt to contain the virus. president obama deployed thousands of troops to support the effort. with the media focused on the outbreak right in the middle of the 2014 elections, republican senators and republican candidates across the country seized on this global health crisis. no, they didn't swoop in to the rescue. in fact, republicans did nothing to support the actual ebola response before the elections. instead they terrified the american people with totally made-up stories of ebola-infected immigrants coming across our southern border. they loudly trumpeted a number of dangerous and irresponsible solutions like travel bans that would actually make dealing with the problem more difficult. ebola ravaged west africa, but only four cases were ever diagnosed here in the united states. republ

we cannot abandon our fight in west africa where ebola continues to flair up. this is unacceptable. it is unconscionable that in the midst of a global health crisis that we cannot and will not appropriate emergency funds to save lives. congress needs to do its job what we were sent here for, what our moral responsibility is, to do its job on scomblmbings ika. i urge -- on zika. i urge my colleagues, both sides of the aisle, not to put american women and families in the predicament of choosing whether or not they should get pregnant or if they are already pregnant wondering whether or not their baby is ok. that's where we are today. we need to move. we need to act immediately. thank you and it gives me great pleasure to introduce to you someone who's been a leader on the fight to really to do something about the poisoning of 9,000 children, lead poisoning in flint, michigan, mr. kildee. mr. kildee: thank you. thank you, rosa. you know, it's tough -- it's tough to stand here again and talk about this crisis in my hometown, especially when what i hear from my republican colleagues and
