CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Urging increased Federal funding for juvenile (Type 1)
diabetes research.
Whereas over one million Americans suffer from juvenile
(Type 1) diabetes, a chronic, genetically determined, de-
bilitating disease affecting every organ system;
Whereas 13,000 children a year—35 each day—are diag-
nosed with juvenile diabetes;
Whereas 17,000 adults a year—46 each day—are diagnosed
with juvenile diabetes;
Whereas juvenile diabetes is one of the most costly chronic
diseases of childhood;
Whereas insulin treats but does not cure this potentially
deadly disease and does not prevent the complications of
diabetes, which include blindness, heart attack, kidney
failure, stroke, nerve damage, and amputations;
Whereas the Diabetes Research Working Group, a non-
partisan advisory board established to advise Congress,
has called for an accelerated and expanded diabetes re-
•HCON 36 RH
search program at the National Institutes of Health and
has recommended a $4.1 billion increase in Federal fund-
ing for diabetes research at the National Institutes of
Health over the next five years; and
Whereas a strong public-private partnership to fund juvenile
diabetes exists between the Federal Government and the
Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, a foundation which has
awarded more than $326 million for diabetes research
since 1970 and will give $100 million in fiscal year 2001:
Now, therefore, be it
Whereas over one million Americans suffer from juvenile
(type 1) diabetes, a chronic, genetically determined,
debilitating disease affecting every organ system;
Whereas 13,000 children a year—35 each day—are diag-
nosed with juvenile diabetes;
Whereas 17,000 adults a year—46 each day—are diag-
nosed with juvenile diabetes;
Whereas juvenile diabetes is one of the most costly chronic
diseases of childhood;
Whereas insulin treats but does not cure this potentially
deadly disease and does not prevent the complications
of diabetes, which include blindness, heart attack, kid-
ney failure, stroke, nerve damage, and amputations;
and
Whereas the Diabetes Research Working Group, a non-
partisan advisory board established to advise Con-
gress, has called for an accelerated and expanded dia-
betes research program at the National Institutes of
Health and has recommended an increase in Federal
funding for diabetes research at the National Institutes
•HCON 36 RH
of Health over each of the next five years: Now, there-
fore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That Federal funding for diabetes research
should be increased in accordance with the recommenda-
tions of the Diabetes Research Working Group so that a
cure for juvenile diabetes can be found.
That Federal funding for diabetes research should be in-
creased annually as recommended by the Diabetes Research
Working Group so that a cure for juvenile diabetes can be
found.
Amend the title so as to read: ‘‘A concurrent resolu-
tion urging increased Federal funding for juvenile (type
1) diabetes research.’’.
