STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Two

A RESOLUTION urging increased federal funding for quality breast cancer research.

Whereas, the National Breast Cancer Coalition (NBCC) has made breast cancer a political issue and continues to set a public policy agenda critical to eradicating this disease; and

Whereas, NBCC's nationwide network of powerful grassroots advocates fight for legislation and initiatives that move the nation closer to this goal; and

Whereas, the causes and cures for breast cancer will not be found only by looking in test tubes; and

Whereas, such causes and cures must be fought for in public policy forums, at research conferences, and in the voting booth; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the general court of New Hampshire urges President Bush to join in NBCC's mission to "Make Breast Cancer History" by:

Increasing federal funding for quality peer-reviewed breast cancer research; and

Guaranteeing access to quality breast cancer early detection and treatment for all women; and Increasing awareness about male breast cancer and guaranteeing access to quality diagnosis and treatment for all men; and

Enhancing the involvement and influence of trained breast cancer consumer advocates in all aspects of breast cancer policy and research; and

That copies of this resolution, signed by the president of the senate and the speaker of the house be forwarded by the house clerk to the President of the United States.

Approved: May 2, 2002
