ANTHONY D. WEINER\n\n                              of new york\n\n                    in the house of representatives\n\n                       Monday, December 20, 2004\n\n  Mr. WEINER. Mr. Speaker, each year, about 33,000 Americans die from\nprostate cancer and 256,000 are diagnosed for the first time. Aside\nfrom lung cancer, the disease kills more men than any other form of\ncancer.\n  On November 8, 1999, Ed Randall, one of the country's foremost\nbaseball authorities, was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Early\ndetection and the care of doctors like Nicholas Romas at St. Luke's-\nRoosevelt Hospital Center in New York City saved Ed's life.\n  In late 2002, Ed founded Bat for the Cure, a non-profit charity\ndedicated to the eradication of prostate cancer. With its prominent\nboard of directors, including Bob Costas, Mario Cuomo, Len Elmore,\nKathy Giusti and John Hennessy III, the charity has raised hundreds of\nthousands of dollars to fight the disease.\n  The organization has also enlisted well-known sports stars who are\njoining in the fight, such as Dustin Baker, Frank Robinson, Tom McCraw,\nBob Watson, Don Baylor, Dave Winfield, and Rafael Palmeiro. Many of\nthese celebrities have personal experiences with the tragedy of cancer.\n  Fortunately, prostate cancer is one of the slowest growing cancers,\nso proper detection and treatment can save lives. With Bat for the\nCure's support, St. Luke's-Roosevelt, the hospital that saved Ed\nRandall's life, is now helping many other cancer patients become\nsurvivors.\n  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to make prostate cancer research\nand early detection a national health care priority. Congress should\nact without delay to double prostate cancer research funding at the\nNational Institutes of Health, fully fund the National Cancer\nInstitute, and save prostate cancer research at the Veteran's\nAdministration.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-2004-12-20-pt1-PgE2211-2"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.4322710447013378, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
