Washington, D.C. -- Rep. Rush Holt (NJ-12) today released the following statement on the House of Representatives’ passage of legislation to expand federal funding for embryonic stem cell research:
“I am pleased that the House of Representatives has once again passed legislation to provide Federal support for humane and potentially life-saving embryonic stem cell research. It would be immoral for the federal government not to pursue this promising avenue of research, which holds the potential to revolutionize medical care for those afflicted with tragic diseases and conditions. I implore President Bush to put his veto pen away – he must stop standing in the way of scientific progress that could benefit all Americans.”
