| From: | Representative Justin J. Simmons |
| To: | All House members |
| Subject: | Federal Government Response toward Ebola |
| Today I will be introducing a House Resolution urging the Congress of the United States to recognize the severe threat that the Ebola outbreak in West Africa poses to populations, governments and economies throughout the world, including the United States, and increase efforts to contain and eradicate this disease. The House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania urge the Congress of the United States to fully support the work of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the United States Agency for International Development, the Department of Defense, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of State, the Forest Service and other United States Government agencies providing technical, logistical and material support to combat this epidemic. Congress is encouraged to deepen United States and international commitments to the global Ebola response and support the promotion of investments in global health in order to ensure that government can better prevent and detect, contain and eventually eliminate outbreaks of disease while also providing other essential health services. Copies of this resolution will be transmitted to the President of the United States, to the presiding officers of each house of Congress and to each member of the Congress from Pennsylvania. I am hoping that by introducing this resolution it will raise more awareness across the United States about this issue. If you have any questions, please contact Lori Nissly in my Harrisburg office at 717-783-1673 or lnissly@pahousegop.com |
