"The first order of business for this Congress should be to pass an adequate and clean Zika funding bill. Neglecting to pass an appropriate Zika response bill is a failure to expectant mothers who are growing concerned about the lasting impact of mosquito bites this summer could have on the health of their unborn children, and it is a failure to the millions of Americans who entrust us to do everything in our power to safeguard their health and well-being. If we expect to make adequate progress of combatting this virus this year, if we want to protect the health and welfare of all Americans, Congress must pass a clean, well-resourced funding bill without delay."
