If there were the opportunity for a straightforward vote on fetal tissue research. this Member would vote to allow fetal tissue transplant research from Induced abortions. The safeguards surrounding the use of fetal tissue for research purposes included in this legislation should ensure that abortions will not be encouraged for the purpose of providing fetal tissue for research. This Member would also like to express his support for the provision In this conference report which would codify the existing regulatory ban on the permanent admission into the United States of immigrants infected with the HIV virus. by requiring that HIV be placed on the list of communicable disease for which aliens may be excluded from entering the Nation. In fact. earlier this year. this Member voted in favor to Instruct conferees to agree to the Senate provision regarding the Issue of immigrants infected with the HIV virus. Mr. Speaker. this Member appreciates this opportunity to clarify his vote on the National Institutes of Health Revitalization Act Conference Report.
