RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Senate that the President should designate
the week of October 12, 2003, through October 18, 2003, as ``National
Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Week''.
Whereas cystic fibrosis, characterized by digestive disorders and chronic lung
infections, is a fatal lung disease;
Whereas cystic fibrosis is one of the most common fatal genetic diseases in the
United States and one for which there is no known cure;
Whereas more than 10,000,000 Americans are unknowing carriers of the cystic
fibrosis gene;
Whereas 1 out of every 3,500 babies born in the United States is born with
cystic fibrosis;
Whereas approximately 30,000 people in the United States, many of whom are
children, have cystic fibrosis;
Whereas the average life expectancy of an individual with cystic fibrosis is 33
years;
Whereas prompt, aggressive treatment of the symptoms of cystic fibrosis can
extend the lives of those who have this disease;
Whereas recent advances in cystic fibrosis research have produced promising
leads in gene, protein, and drug therapies beneficial to persons
afflicted with the disease;
Whereas this innovative research is progressing faster and is being conducted
more aggressively than ever before, due in part to the establishment of
a model clinical trials network by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation; and
Whereas education of the public on cystic fibrosis, including the symptoms of
the disease, increases knowledge and understanding of cystic fibrosis
and promotes early diagnoses: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved,
