Fattah Advances Global Alzheimer's Framework in FY15 State and Foreign Operations Appropriations Bill

06/24/14
WASHINGTON—The House Appropriations Committee passed language today in a bipartisan vote that would support a framework for a global Alzheimer’s fund to combat the growing threat of the disease worldwide. Congressman Fattah (D-PA), a Senior Member of the Committee, pushed for the language to be included in the FY 2015 State and Foreign Operations Appropriations bill. Together with Congressman Chris Smith (R-NJ), Fattah introduced related legislation earlier this year that called on the United States to lead an international effort towards treating and curing Alzheimer’s and other dementias.
