H. Res. 1035 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
March 11, 2008. 
Resolved, That the following named Members be, and are 
hereby, elected to the following standing committees of the 
House of Representatives: 
COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN AFFAIRS: Mr. Berman, Chair-
man. 
COMMITTEE
ON TRANSPORTATION
AND INFRASTRUC-
TURE: Mr. Sires. 
Attest: 
Clerk.
(1) The Federal Aviation Administration has 
achieved little progress toward limiting transport 
category aircraft deaths resulting from center wing 
fuel tank explosions, including the crash of Trans 
World Airlines Flight 800 off the coast of East 
Moriches, Suffolk County, Long Island, New York 
on July 17, 1996 (the single largest loss of life as 
a result of a preventable center wing fuel tank explo-
sion in a transport category aircraft). 
(2) Over the course of the past 15 years, 3 sep-
arate fatal transport category aircraft accidents re-
sulting in the loss of 346 lives were the result of pre-
ventable fuel tank explosions. 
(3) Center wing fuel tank explosions of trans-
port category aircraft remain a concern and have the 
potential to cause flight disasters. 
(4) The National Transportation Safety Board, 
pursuant to its recommendations A–96–174 and A– 
96–175, explicitly affirms that the elimination of 
center wing fuel tank explosions is a primary objec-
tive of aviation safety and that, when considering 
safety changes, the Federal Aviation Administration 
should give significant consideration to fuel tank 
inerting systems.

(5) The Federal Goverment has enacted avia-
tion safety measures in response to the tragedy of 
Trans World Airlines Flight 800 and recognized the 
hardship confronted by family members of the pas-
senger victims who were killed as a result of the 
crash. 
(6) There is a need to address and resolve the 
risk to airline passengers due to the vulnerability of 
aircraft center wing fuel tanks to explosion.

A BILL 
To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to improve 
access of Medicare beneficiaries to immune globulins. 
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; TABLE OF CONTENTS. 
(a) SHORT TITLE.—This Act may be cited as the 
‘‘Medicare IVIG Access Act of 2007’’.

(b) TABLE OF CONTENTS.—The table of contents of 
this Act is as follows: 
Sec. 1. Short title; table of contents. 
Sec. 2. Findings. 
Sec. 3. Medicare payment for immune globulins. 
Sec. 4. Coverage and payment of intravenous immune globulin in the home. 
Sec. 5. Patient access surveys and reports. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) Intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) is a 
human blood plasma derived product, which over the 
past 25 years has become an invaluable therapy for 
many primary immunodeficiency diseases, as well as 
a number of neurological, autoimmune, and other 
chronic conditions and illnesses. For many of these 
disorders, IVIG is the most effective and viable 
treatment available, and has dramatically improved 
the quality of life for persons with these conditions 
and has become a life-saving therapy for many. 
(2) The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 
recognizes each IVIG brand as a unique biologic. 
The differences in basic fractionation and the addi-
tion of various modifications for further purification, 
stabilization and virus inactivation/removal yield 
clearly different biological products. As a result, 
IVIG therapies are not interchangeable, with patient 
tolerance differing from one IVIG brand to another.

that Medicare’s IVIG home infusion benefit is not 
designed to reimburse for more than the cost of 
IVIG and does not cover the cost of infusion services 
(for example, nursing and clinical services and sup-
plies) in the home. As a consequence, the report 
found that home infusion providers generally do not 
accept new PIDD patients with only Medicare cov-
erage. These limitations in service are caused by 
health care providers (A) not being able to acquire 
IVIG at prices at or below the Medicare part B re-
imbursement level, and (B) not being reimbursed for 
the infusion services provided by a nurse. 
(13) Access to home infusion of IVIG for PIDD 
patients, who have a genetic or intrinsic defect in 
their human immune system, will reduce their expo-
sure to infections at a time when their antibodies are 
compromised and will improve the quality of their 
care and their health. 
SEC. 3. MEDICARE PAYMENT FOR IMMUNE GLOBULINS. 
(a) IN GENERAL.—Section 1842(o)(1)(E) of the So-
cial Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395u(o)(1)(E)) is amend-
ed— 
(1) in paragraph (1)(E)(ii), by inserting before
