Excerpt from Research on Childhood Diseases by Entrepreneurs: Hearing Before the Committee on Small Business, United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, Second Session Thursday, May 26, 1994 Senate, Committee on Small Business, Washington, DC. The committee met, pursuant to notice, at10:04 a.m., in room Sr-428A, Russell Senate Office Building, Hon. Joseph I. Lieberman and Hon. John F.Kerry, jointly presiding. Opening Statement Of Hon. Joseph Lieberman, A U.S. Senator From The State Of Connecticut Senator Lieberman. Good morning, and welcome to the hearing. Todays hearing is designed to look at research being done by a really vibrant new industry; research which is aimed at finding cures and treatments for childhood diseases. These kinds of diseases that we are talking about cystic fibrosis, epilepsy, leukemia really strike fear into the hearts of parents. We have one of those parents here today. Boomer Esiason is, obviously, known as a great football player; but he really is here today as a parent. I think he is also someone who knows that it does not take half the courage to stand up to a Dallas Cowboys blitz as it does to battle a disease like cystic fibrosis. We are very grateful that you are here, and we look forward to your testimony. Last Fridays Wall Street Journal summed up the industry that is working on these cures and treatments, the biotechnology industry, as great science and risky business. And, in a way, we have structured this hearing today in just that form: The first panel looks at the great science, the amazing leaps forward in biotechnology, and the promise those discoveries hold for curing the dreaded diseases of childhood. The second panel examines the risky business, the daunting obstacles that stand in the way of translating the promise of biotechnology into the reality of healthier lives for our kids. In the first panel, we are going to focus on cystic fibrosis, a disease many believe can be cured through gene therapy. By replacing sick genes with healthy genes, scientists can bring about a true miracle of medicine. Gene therapy has already been successfully used to cure children born with immune syndromes, otherwise known as bubble babies.
