Lawmaker Back In Action Thanks To American R&D
Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger on Tuesday praised American ingenuity in the medical arena for getting him back on his feet fast after undergoing a serious surgery. The Maryland Democrat is a member of the House Appropriations Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Subcommittee, which held its first budget hearing of the year on the Bush administration's FY09 science and technology portfolio.
He told White House Office of Science and Technology Policy Director John Marburger, who testified at the hearing, that he did not expect to be back to work so soon after experiencing a spinal fusion procedure. "Thank goodness for research and discovery and they're able to fix your back," Ruppersberger said. Read more about the hearing in CongressDaily's PM edition.
