                               RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of the Senate that the operations of the National 
Institutes of Health should not experience any interruption, delay, or 
 funding disruption in violation of the law and that the workforce of 
 the National Institutes of Health is essential to sustaining medical 
                               progress.

    Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate that--
            (1) to protect the health, economic vitality, and national 
        security of the people of the United States, the operations of 
        the National Institutes of Health, including funding research 
        on childhood cancers, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, heart 
        disease, infectious disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and 
        other diseases and conditions, should not be subject to any 
        interruption, delay, or funding disruption in violation of the 
        law; and
            (2) the workforce of the National Institutes of Health, 
        comprised of scientists, researchers, and medical 
        professionals, is essential to sustaining medical progress, and 
        any interference with its work undermines efforts to develop 
        life-saving treatments, weakens the biomedical research 
        enterprise, and threatens the Nation's ability to respond to 
        public health challenges.
