Mr. Toomey mr. President . The presiding officer the senator from pennsylvania. Mr. Toomey thank you, mr. President. I am going to make a unanimous consent request, b but first i want to say a few words about the legislation about which the request pertains, and i want to thank my senate my colleague, senator bob casey, for joining me on this. It was back in 2014 that senator casey and i introduced the Eric Williams correctional officer protection act. Its a bipartisan bill, mr. President , and i. T. Got a simple idea its got a simple idea. The side to better enable those men and women who protect us every day by working as corrections officers, to better enable them to protect themselves in the very dangerous environments in which they go to work every day. Amazingly enough, under the bureau of prison policy, Prison Guards are often placed on duty guarding large numbers of inmates by themselves, unarmed, and with no meaningful way to defend themselves.

Pandemic. I wrote an article about this, and i will talk about some of the things i mentioned in that new england journal of medicine article. The reason i believe it is necessary, if you look at some sufficient the challenge that is we face, about ending the hiv despite all of the great results, there is a thing called a care continuum.

Do that, we have to find other sources for the europe
