Mr. Speaker. I rise today in support of the omnibus appropriations bill H.R. 4328. Amongst the many important elements in this legislation. including tremendous civil rights victories for Haitian refugees. black farmers. and gulf war veterans. there are two in particular that I want to highlight. The nationwide poison control centers network and the Work Opportunity Tax Credit Program. have proven their effectiveness and necessity. Poison control centers provide a unique and valuable resource. They are an integral part of a nationwide public health system to decrease accidental deaths. Four million calls. last year alone. were fielded by the centers. ranging from minor to life threatening.
