February 25, 2020
WASHINGTON – At the weekly Republican leadership press conference today, U.S. Senator Roy Blunt (Mo.), Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies (Labor/HHS), said that Congress will work with the Trump administration to ensure the right amount of funding is available to meet coronavirus response needs.
As Labor/HHS chairman, Blunt created the Infectious Disease Fund to give HHS the flexibility to immediately respond to an infectious disease outbreak. At a Labor/HHS hearing Blunt chaired this morning, he questioned HHS Secretary Alex Azar about the administration’s use of the Infectious Disease Fund and its request for $2.5 billion in additional funding to respond to the coronavirus.
