Washington, D.C. – Following are remarks made today by Senator
Thad Cochran (R-MS) during a Labor, HHS, Education Appropriations
Subcommittee hearing on stem cell research:
"Mr. Chairman. This is a defining moment for the Senate.
We are blessed to have these four Senators available to us for
counsel, advice and information, and I am pleased we will also
have technical and scientific guidance from others in this process.
It is truly a matter of life or death. This issue deserves our best
efforts to learn the facts and act on them to serve the public
interest. This is not an issue where we try to be just politically
correct. Our obligation is more than that. We must use our best
judgement, enlightened by the best evidence."
