COMBATING AUTISM ACT OF 2006 -- (House of Representatives - December 06, 2006)

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the gentleman from New Jersey for yielding.

I rise in strong support of S. 843, the Combating Autism Act of 2006. I also take this opportunity to commend and congratulate Mr. Tim Muri, president and CEO of Easter Seals of Chicago, as well as the University of Illinois Medical Center, and all of those who support this venture which I am about to mention.

On October 30, 2006, Easter Seals, with the support of many in the Chicagoland area, broke ground for a brand new therapeutic school and center for autism research in the Illinois Medical Center District. This bill, S. 843, will greatly enhance the work of this school and other entities across the country.

So I simply support not only the development of this brand new school but certainly the legislation which is going to enhance the work of those combating autism across the country.

I thank the gentleman again for yielding.
