$750 Million Funding for CDC Clears House

From U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

December 13, 2001

The House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed legislation Wednesday authorizing $750 million for the CDC for 2002 and 2003. The vote was 418-2, with 13 members not voting. Of the $750 million, $600 million would go for construction and $150 million would aid bioterrorism preparedness. The money would help the CDC build new facilities and improve security -- upgrades needed more than ever in light of the agency's central role in responding to the anthrax crisis and other bioterrorism worries. The CDC's crumbling buildings and dripping ceilings gained nationwide attention after members of Congress and President Bush toured the agency to observe its work in the war on terrorism.
