Tales Of The New Crown: DOJ Asks Illegitimate Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer For Public Nursing Homes Cooties Data

Michigan *Public Private Partnership* Nursing Facilities
(Not to be confused with the cooties PPP)

Well, this is quite the kerfuffle!

It seems, Matt Schnieder, Detroit, MIED U.S. Attorney, has referred the matter to the Civil Rights Division of DOJ, which seems to cloying Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer with those silenced cries for due process, a right of civility, for those individual residents of the State, who have unfortunately lost their lives to the cooties, by invoking CRIPA.

But, herein lies the issue - what about the private nursing homes?

Yes, that is correct, Michigan has privatized just about anything in the industry of human asset management.

By specifically using the term "public", this immediately stands up to me as a federally certified facilities, meaning, CMS authorizes cost reimbursement for Medicaid and Medicare.

Just for fun, because you know I love to disprove my first impressions when it comes to stealin', I conducted a random experiment, by controlling for randomness by closing my eyes and picking one *Public Private Partnership* nursing facility, and looked up Shorepointe Nursing Center.

The last time I checked, an LLC is a private, not public, I decided to see what Raj had to say about this.

Optalis nursing home chain further expanding reach ‘ahead of the curve’

A growing skilled nursing and senior living company is looking to expand its reach throughout the United States.

Optalis Healthcare, based in Novi, MI, gearing up to either build or acquire more facilities in Michigan, Ohio and Florida, Crain’s Detroit Business reported. CEO Raj Patel, however, declined to specify the number of facilities or give any details about future acquisitions, stating plans “are still under review.”

“We are very optimistic that we are in front of the bell curve with a large amount of seniors eight to 10 years away from when they really need services,” Patel told the news organization. “Age 65 is the new 55. Many seniors don’t need a lot of services until they get into their high 70s, early 80s. We are innovative and ready for the big wave.”

The 15-facility company purchased five Detroit-area, Beaumont-affiliated properties (four SNFs and one senior living facility) from Premier Health Care Management in September. Patel called the deal a “perfect fit to the Optalis growth plan in the southeast Michigan market.”

Death toll rises as coronavirus sweeps through Michigan nursing homes

I am not going to broach the subject of how or why Ascension St. John was flipping properties, because I already did, but we shall soon revisit these days of yore.

See, there is no FOIA for private state contractors, so, Michigan self reports, which means they are not held to GAGAS or any external audit.

Try filing a FOIA for school records for a former foster child and see what happens.

So, if there is no FOIA in child welfare, what the hell makes you think there is FOIA in nursing home data?

The only logical action by DOJ would be to use the CRIPA prong test.

CRIPA, in part, says:

(II) residing in such facility or institution for purposes of receiving care or treatment; or 

(III) residing for any State purpose in such facility or institution (other than a residential facility providing only elementary or secondary education that is not an institution in which reside juveniles who are adjudicated delinquent, in need of supervision, neglected, placed in State custody, mentally ill or disabled, mentally retarded, or chronically ill or handicapped);  or (v) providing skilled nursing, intermediate or long-term care, or custodial or residential care.

(2) Privately owned and operated facilities shall not be deemed  "institutions" under this subchapter if-- (A) the licensing of such facility by the State constitutes the sole nexus between such facility and such State;
(B) the receipt by such facility, on behalf of persons residing in such facility, of payments under title XVI, XVIII [42 U.S.C.A. §§ 1381 et seq., 1395 et seq.], or under a State plan approved under title XIX [42 U.S.C.A. § 1396 et seq.], of the Social Security Act, constitutes the sole nexus between such facility and such State;  or
(C) the licensing of such facility by the State, and the receipt by such facility, on behalf of persons residing in such facility, of payments under title XVI, XVIII [42 U.S.C.A. §§ 1381 et seq., 1395 et seq.], or under a State plan approved under title XIX [42 U.S.C.A. § 1396 et seq.], of the Social Security Act, constitutes the sole nexus between such facility and such State; (3) The term "person" means an individual, a trust or estate, a partnership, an association, or a corporation;

So, what if the CRIPA prong test?

The CRIPA prong test is when DOJ asks for information in the course of a civil rights investigation, where, in this instance, happens to be individuals who died from the cooties in public nursing homes, and the State Governor says, "No".

That is how you automatically know they are stealin'. [see above].

Then, there is still that lingering issue about DOJ asking MIED to look into the constitutionality of Gretch's Executive Orders, where, I have addressed her illegitimacy to be granted under that indelible seal to hold office.

What a messy!

I guess Gretch has two choices: (1) produce the data; or, (2) bear her armiger, but, hey, what do I know?

Dept. of Justice requesting COVID-19 nursing home data from Gov. Whitmer

(FOX 2) - The Department of Justice is requesting data from Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in regard to the COVID-19 order that may have resulted in deaths of elderly nursing home residents.

The data is being requested to help inform whether the Department of Justice will initiate investigations under the Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act (CRIPA).

Other governors were asked to also provide data, including New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. These states required nursing homes to admit COVID-19 patients, often without adequate testing.

The DOJ is asking for the following information from Gov. Whitmer:

• The number of public nursing home residents, employees, other staff, guests and visitors who contracted COVID-19, regardless of where it was contracted
• The number of public nursing home residents employees, other staff, guests and visitors who died of COVID-19 including those who died in a public nursing home or after being transferred to a hospital or other medical facility, hospice, home care or any other location
• All state-issued guidance, directives, advisories or executive orders regarding admission of persons to public nursing homes, including those previously superseded, as well as the dates each such document was in effect
• The number of persons who were admitted to a public nursing home from a hospital or any other facility, hospice, home care or other location after testing positive for COVID-19 during the period the guidance or orders were in effect

The information requested is due within 14 days.

You can see the letter sent to Gov. Whitmer here.

... "This is nothing more than election year politics by an administration that is more concerned with the president's re-election campaign than protecting Michigan seniors."

— Governor Gretchen Whitmer's Press Secretary Tiffany Brown
Gov. Whitmer's office released the following statement later in the day Wednesday after receiving the letter:

"Protecting the health, safety, and wellbeing of our seniors and most vulnerable residents has been a top priority throughout this crisis. The fact that this letter was sent during the middle of the Republican National Convention week to four Democratic governors should make it crystal clear that this is nothing more than election year politics by an administration that is more concerned with the president's re-election campaign than protecting Michigan seniors. We will review this letter and respond as appropriate, however, Americans would all be better served if the Trump administration stopped the partisan games and focused on delivering a real plan to defeat COVID-19."

In a town hall with FOX 2 back in July, Gov. Whitmer said she was following the best advice she had at the time when making this decision.

Whitmer said that the state was following guidance from the Center for Disease Control and prevention when COVID-19 patients were housed with non-coronavirus patients in nursing homes.

"We know that this experience has played out across the planet frankly but we’ve seen it in real-time here in the U.S., first in Seattle then of course across the U.S.," she said. "In every step of the way we've followed the CDC best guidance and our policies reflected that. All of the efforts that we've taken to keep people safe by closing down the ability for outsiders to come in, our policy with regard to...we never once required that nursing homes took COVID-19 patients. Many chose to and when they did they followed the promulgated practices from the CDC about separation and not having intermingling at all," she said.

And she did admit that following best practices ended with lives being lost to the virus.

"In the early days, following the CDC was the gold standard. That's what we were doing," Whitmer said. "Our nursing home death numbers are far too many but are better than in many other states. At the time we followed the protocols the CDC has prescribed."

In the end, Whitmer said if she had the knowledge she has now, she would do things differently but says it was CDC guidance.

"We followed the protocols that they prescribed and that's the best any state was able to do, frankly," she said. "We always have a mindest we are going to be conservative and follow the science. And sometimes that makes us a leader and in other ways, it's made us average with other states. With nursing home experiences, it's the latter."

The Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division is evaluating whether to initiate investigations under the federal “Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act” (CRIPA), which protects the civil rights of persons in state-run nursing homes, among others.

The Civil Rights Division seeks to determine if the state orders requiring admission of COVID-19 patients to nursing homes is responsible for the deaths of nursing home residents.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, New York has the highest number of COVID-19 deaths in the United States, with 32,592 victims, many of them elderly.

New York’s death rate by population is the second highest in the country with 1,680 deaths per million people. New Jersey’s death rate by population is 1,733 deaths per million people - the highest in the nation.

In contrast, Texas’s death rate by population is 380 deaths per million people; and Texas has just over 11,000 deaths, though its population is 50 percent larger than New York and has many more recorded cases of COVID-19 - 577,537 cases in Texas versus 430,885 cases in New York.

Florida’s COVID-19 death rate is 480 deaths per million; with total deaths of 10,325 and a population slightly larger than New York.

Just as pianists must play their instrument’s black and white keys to make great music, so must America draw on her black and white citizens to make a great country. That is why the partnership between the Detroit Branch NAACP and the Michigan Land Use Institute is music to the ears of those who believe in reaching across racial, cultural, and geographic boundaries. And that is why our shared vision must resonate throughout Michigan, from its great southern cities to its splendid northern forests.

Hester Wheeler

Our hopeful partnership aims to replace the unfortunate dearth of urban voices addressing land use issues with a new song that unifies city and countryside in ways that, even very recently, few would have thought possible. Without it, there will be little progress in urban revitalization or land preservation.

Living for the City is a vital first step. Focusing on Detroit, we are addressing three issues crucial to its long-delayed renaissance: Public transit, affordable housing, and race relations.  

Public transit’s goals: Accessible, reliable, convenient, and affordable.

Detroit once operated the nation’s largest municipally owned transit system. Fifty years ago, that system annually carried 492 million riders; the Woodward Avenue trolleys rarely required more than a five-minute wait. Today, Detroit’s transit system is an embarrassment and a trial for those who use it. Yet one-third of Detroit residents have no car; for them, getting to work can be a nightmare. They are constantly at risk of losing their jobs because the buses often make them late for work. Dependable public transportation is a basic necessity that Detroit simply must regain.

Prelude To Detroit: Trump Signs Executive Order On Strengthening The Residuals Of The Peculiar Institution In Trafficking Tiny Humans Under False Advisement To Cover Up Gerrymandering & Corporate Parental Rights

First of all, what the heck is this?

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America

This is called a pacifier so I do not go off, because Trump is not duly elected, which means he does not possess the grant of armorial, to keep and bear the arms of the United States, because the record in heraldry, held in the Great Repository of the Great Seal of the United States, is done so in fraud.

Article II, U.S. Constitution:

Where is the Certificate of Oath,
with the Great Seal of the United States,
Signed by the Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of the United States?
#Sealsmatter

Section 1.
The executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his office during the term of four years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same term, be elected, as follows: 

Each state shall appoint, in such manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a number of electors, equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or person holding an office of trust or profit under the United States, shall be appointed an elector.
The electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for two persons, of whom one at least shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves. And they shall make a list of all the persons voted for, and of the number of votes for each; which list they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate. The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates, and the votes shall then be counted. The person having the greatest number of votes shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of electors appointed; and if there be more than one who have such majority, and have an equal number of votes, then the House of Representatives shall immediately choose by ballot one of them for President; and if no person have a majority, then from the five highest on the list the said House shall in like manner choose the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by States, the representation from each state having one vote; A quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice. In every case, after the choice of the President, the person having the greatest number of votes of the electors shall be the Vice President. But if there should remain two or more who have equal votes, the Senate shall choose from them by ballot the Vice President....unless those electors engaged in election interference fraud schemes like stealin' the children, land & vote through what is called gerrymandering, through a political party who has had its parental rights to keep and bear the arms of the United States, as a registered business entity, terminated, making any casting of the vote and tally to be illegitimate because, as a nullified entity, there are no duly existing quorum, the 2016 vote was fraudulently certified through the Secretaries of State, all the way down to the City Clerks, like what was done in Detroit, in Wayne County, by its Secretary of State, who filed the fake ass Michigan certification of the 2016 election with the Clerk of the House in that fake ass 2016 Special Election, which means Trump is not duly elected, hence he is illegitimate, where the Senate, U.S. Attorney General, and Chief Justice of SCOTUS, who administered the fake ass oath of Donald J. Trump, because his real legal name is Donald John Trump, and they all know it, because McGahn and the JonesDay crew made sure to cloak the foreign invasion of Detroit and is about to sell Trump down the river in another round of the 202 fake ass election.

Trump Oath of Office for auction
with private certificate of authenticity
which still has no notarization
under the Great Seal of the U.S.

The Congress may determine the time of choosing the electors, and the day on which they shall give their votes; which day shall be the same throughout the United States.

No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States....there are no electors for the Democratic National Committee nor the Republican National Committee because their fake all LLCs and backdoor inc. were dissolved, December 2015 and everyone covered it up because they are covering up the residuals of the peculiar institution, which is child welfare, the trafficking of tiny humans. 

Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee as his last two opponents, Ted Cruz and John Kasich, dropped out of the race. Running against the Democratic Party’s candidate, former First Lady Hillary Clinton, Trump won a number of critical “Rust Belt” states and was elected the 45th U.S. President on November 8, 2016. Trump took the oath of office on January 20, 2017 in Washington, D.C.

Offered is President Trump’s signature, in blue marker, on a typewritten copy of the Oath of Office, dated January 20, 2017 on White House stationary. The 8½ x 11-inch white sheet has “Memorandum The White House Washington” in blue type across the top of the page, with the date and oath in bold black type. Trump’s signature is on the lower third of the page. The sheet has blue ink on the top edge. Trump was administered the oath by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts on the steps of the U.S. Capital. This comes with a LOA from Beckett Authentication.

{My apologies for bringing you with me into one of my Post Traumatic Fraud Disorder Episodes, but I had flashbacks when it came to forging names of elected officials behind their backs, or having them sign documents under false advisement, or Chiefs of Staff and anyone else who has sold the signatures of Members of Congress and the White House, for about the same price range......, but hey, what do I know....}

The President shall, at stated times, receive for his services, a compensation, which shall neither be increased nor diminished during the period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that period any other emolument from the United States, or any of them....wherefore this doctrine of emolument also applies to his cabinet, Chiefs of Staff, White House counsel, and campaign, like JonesDay, including the Vice President and CIA Director because they all have foreign corporations who raped Detroit in TARP through the act of gerrymandering, otherwise known as stealin' the children, land & vote, by executing an international coup in a well funded insurrection, to remove a sitting member of congress and U.S. icon, like they are tearing down statues, bleachbitting history, in foreign titles of lands, under a crown. 

In case of the removal of the President from office, or of his death, resignation, or inability to discharge the powers and duties of the said office, the same shall devolve on the Vice President, and the Congress may by law provide for the case of removal, death, resignation or inability, both of the President and Vice President, declaring what officer shall then act as President, and such officer shall act accordingly, until the disability be removed, or a President shall be elected....if there exists what is called a tacit resignation, then, in the converse, there must also exist a tacit election, where tacit means, in this instance, someone lied, making Obama, the Archpresident, transposing Ecclesiastic models of juridic persons, under the Second Amendment, where, it may be a situation of Trump being the Archtreasury, or, as I prefer, the keeper of the children's trust.

Before he enter on the execution of his office, he shall take the following oath or affirmation:--"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." 

Section 2.
The President shall be commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several states, when called into the actual service of the United States; he may require the opinion, in writing, of the principal officer in each of the executive departments, upon any subject relating to the duties of their respective offices, and he shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment. 

He shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall appoint ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, judges of the Supreme Court, and all other officers of the United States, whose appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by law: but the Congress may by law vest the appointment of such inferior officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the courts of law, or in the heads of departments.....unless the president was not duly elected and is illegitimate because there are no valid certifications throughout the entire electoral process, making any appointments and executive orders such as this, nullified.

The President shall have power to fill up all vacancies that may happen during the recess of the Senate, by granting commissions which shall expire at the end of their next session. 

Section 3.
He shall from time to time give to the Congress information of the state of the union, and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in case of disagreement between them, with respect to the time of adjournment, he may adjourn them to such time as he shall think proper; he shall receive ambassadors and other public ministers; he shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed, and shall commission all the officers of the United States. 

Section 4.
The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors....for falsely advising the President, because Chief Justice of SCOTUS John Roberts condoned the bad faith of the policy in his own breach of his oath of office, in failing to uphold the public policy of insurance to protect and serve the people in justice, which means not to procure and purvey tiny humans as lab rats, in Medicaid Fraud in Child Welfare, by promulgating the residuals of the peculiar institution, by allowing Trump to continue to be falsely advised.

Trump was falsely advised in the christian invasion of the United States through Religious Freedom Restoration Act, where the church is supposed to be the authority over the oaths of offices to protect the posterity of the nation, rather the best interests of the child, whereby the Vice President and all civil officers shall fall from the heavens, under the Second Amendment, which is why I am pacified.

See, how that all works out?

The USCCB is supposed to be the watchers over the oaths of office for the people, hence, the doctrine of separation, except when it comes to the Thirteenth Exception, strictly for the purposes of maximizing revenues, because it is illegal for a not for profit office holder to generate profit from the selling of tiny humans.

Praise the lord.

Executive Order on Strengthening the Child Welfare System for America’s Children
 LAW & JUSTICE

  Issued on: June 24, 2020

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1.  Purpose.  Every child deserves a family.  Our States and communities have both a legal obligation, and the privilege, to care for our Nation’s most vulnerable children.

The best foster care system is one that is not needed in the first place.  My Administration has been focused on prevention strategies that keep children safe while strengthening families so that children do not enter foster care unnecessarily.  Last year, and for only the second time since 2011, the number of children in the foster care system declined, and for the third year in a row, the number of children entering foster care has declined.

We no longer "sell" children because the Great Thirteenth Exception affords, through federal funding, that, we, the holders of not-for-profit and for-profit corporate offices, to "procure and purvey" tiny humans through human asset management databases in the name of the tax exempt god.

But challenges remain.  Too many young people who are in our foster care system wait years before finding the permanency of family.  More than 400,000 children are currently in foster care.  Of those, more than 124,000 children are waiting for adoption, with nearly 6 out of 10 (58.4 percent) having already become legally eligible for adoption.

More than 50 percent of the children waiting for adoption have been in foster care — without the security and constancy of a permanent family — for 2 years or more.  The need for stability and timely permanency is particularly acute for children 9 years and older, children in sibling groups, and those with intellectual or physical disabilities.

Even worse, too many young men and women age out of foster care having never found a permanent, stable family.  In recent years, approximately 20,000 young people have aged out of foster care each year in the United States.  Research has shown that young people who age out of the foster care system are likely to experience significant, and significantly increased, life challenges — 40 percent of such young people studied experienced homelessness; 50 percent were unemployed at age 24; 25 percent experienced post-traumatic stress disorder; and 71 percent became pregnant by age 21.  These are unacceptable outcomes.

Several factors have contributed to the number of children who wait in foster care for extended periods.  First, State and local child welfare agencies often do not have robust partnerships with private community organizations, including faith-based organizations.  Second, those who step up to be resource families for children in foster care — including kin, guardians, foster parents, and adoptive parents — may lack adequate support.  Third, too often the processes and systems meant to help children and families in crisis have instead created bureaucratic barriers that make it more difficult for these children and families to get the help they need.

It is the goal of the United States to promote a child welfare system that reduces the need to place children into foster care; achieves safe permanency for those children who must come into foster care, and does so more quickly and more effectively; places appropriate focus on children who are waiting for adoption, especially those who are 9 years and older, are in sibling groups, or have disabilities; and decreases the proportion of young adults who age out of the foster care system.

SCOTUS DACA Opinion 6-18-2020 by Beverly Tran on Scribd

Always remember, DACA is a policy, not a law!

Only congress makes law, not the executive branch, unless there is an exception for an unduly elected president to elucidate gerrymanding, but, hey, what do I know?

Children from all backgrounds have the potential to become successful and thriving adults.  Yet without a committed, loving family that can provide encouragement, stability, and a lifelong connection, some children may never receive the support needed to realize that potential.

This order will help to empower families who answer the call to open their hearts and homes to children who need them.  My Administration is committed to helping give as many children as possible the stability and support that family provides by dramatically improving our child welfare system.

BE BEST - Modern Day Trafficking Tiny Humans Through Faith Based Funding Stimulus - Corporate Parental Rights

Sec. 2.  Encouraging Robust Partnerships Between State Agencies and Public, Private, Faith-based, and Community Organizations.  (a)  In order to facilitate close partnerships between State agencies and nongovernmental organizations, including public, private, faith-based, and community groups, the Secretary of Health and Human Services (the “Secretary”) shall provide increased public access to accurate, up-to-date information relevant to strengthening the child welfare system, including by:

(i)    Publishing data to aid in the recruitment of community support.  Within 1 year of the date of this order and each year thereafter, the Secretary shall submit to the President, through the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy, a report that provides information about typical patterns of entry, recent available counts of children in foster care, and counts of children waiting for adoption.  To the extent appropriate and consistent with applicable law, including all privacy laws, this data will be disaggregated by county or other sub-State level, child age, placement type, and prior time in care.

(ii)   Collecting needed data to preserve sibling connections.

(A)  Within 2 years of the date of this order, the Secretary shall collect information from appropriate State and local agencies on the number of children in foster care who have siblings in foster care and who are not currently placed with their siblings.

(B)  Within 3 years of the date of this order, to support the goal of keeping siblings together (42 U.S.C. 671(a)(31)(A)), the Secretary shall develop data analysis methods to report on the experience of children entering care in sibling groups, and the extent to which they are placed together.  The Secretary’s analysis shall also assess the extent to which siblings who are legally eligible for adoption achieve permanency together.

(iii)  Expanding the number of homes for children and youth.

(A)  Within 2 years of the date of this order, the Secretary shall develop a more rigorous and systematic approach to collecting State administrative data as part of the Child and Family Services Review required by section 1123A of the Social Security Act (the “Act”) (42 U.S.C. 1320a–2a).  Data collected shall include:

(1)  demographic information for children in foster care and waiting for adoption;

(2)  the number of currently available foster families and their demographic information;

(3)  the average foster parent retention rate and average length of time foster parents remain certified;

(4)  a target number of foster homes needed to meet the needs of children in foster care; and

(5)  the average length of time it takes to complete foster and adoptive home certification.

(B)  The Secretary shall ensure, to the extent consistent with applicable law, that States report to the Secretary regarding strategies for coordinating with nongovernmental organizations, including faith-based and community organizations, to recruit and support foster and adoptive families.

(b)  Within 1 year of the date of this order, the Secretary shall issue guidance to Federal, State, and local agencies on partnering with nongovernmental organizations.  This guidance shall include best practices for information sharing, providing needed services to families to support prevention of children entering foster care, family preservation, foster and adoptive home recruitment and retention, respite care, post-placement family support, and support for older youth.  This guidance shall also make clear that faith-based organizations are eligible for partnerships under title IV-E of the Act (42 U.S.C. 670 et seq.), on an equal basis, consistent with the First Amendment to the Constitution.

Sec. 3.  Improving Access to Adequate Resources for Caregivers and Youth.  While many public, private, faith based, and community resources and other sources of support exist, many American caregivers still lack connection with and access to adequate resources.  Within 1 year of the date of this order, the Secretary shall equip caregivers and those in care to meet their unique challenges, by:

(a)  Expanding educational options.  To the extent practicable, the Secretary shall use all existing technical assistance resources to promote dissemination and State implementation of the National Training and Development Curriculum, including, when appropriate, in non-classroom environments.

(b)  Increasing the availability of trauma-informed training.  The Secretary shall provide an enhanced, web-based, learning-management platform to house the information generated by the National Adoption Competency Mental Health Training Initiative.  Access to this web-based training material will be provided free of charge for all child welfare and mental health practitioners.

(c)  Supporting guardianship.  The Secretary shall provide information to States regarding the importance and availability of funds to increase guardianship through the title IV-E Guardianship Assistance Program (42 U.S.C. 673), which provides Federal reimbursement for payments to guardians and for associated administrative costs.  This information shall include which States have already opted into the program.

(d)  Enhancing support for kinship care and youth exiting foster care.  The Secretary shall establish a plan to address barriers to accessing existing Federal assistance and benefits for eligible individuals.

Sec. 4.  Ensuring Equality of Treatment and Access for all Families.  The Howard M. Metzenbaum Multiethnic Placement Act of 1994 (the “Multiethnic Placement Act”) (Public Law 103-382), as amended, prohibits agencies from denying to any person the opportunity to become an adoptive or a foster parent on the basis of race, color, or national origin (42 U.S.C. 671(a)(18)(A)); prohibits agencies from delaying or denying the placement of a child for adoption or into foster care on the basis of race, color, or national origin (id. 671(a)(18)(B)); and requires agencies to diligently recruit a diverse base of foster and adoptive parents to better reflect the racial and ethnic makeup of children in out-of-home care (id. 662(b)(7)).  To further the goals of the Multiethnic Placement Act, the Secretary shall:

FLOTUS: Melanie Trump v. Be Best - What Is The Citizenship Of A Foster Child?

(a)  within 6 months of the date of this order, initiate a study regarding the implementation of these requirements nationwide;

(b)  within 1 year of the date of this order, update guidance, as necessary, regarding implementation of the Multiethnic Placement Act; and

(c)  within 1 year of the date of this order, publish guidance regarding the rights of parents, prospective parents, and children with disabilities (including intellectual, developmental, or physical disabilities).

Sec. 5.  Improving Processes to Prevent Unnecessary Removal and Secure Permanency for Children.  (a)  Federal Review of Reasonable Effort Determinations and Timeliness Requirements.

(i)    Within 2 years of the date of this order, the Secretary shall require that both the title IV-E reviews conducted pursuant to 45 CFR 1356.71 and the Child and Family Services Reviews conducted pursuant to 45 CFR 1355.31–1355.36 specifically and adequately assess the following requirements:

(A)  reasonable efforts to prevent removal;

(B)  filing a petition for Termination of Parental Rights within established statutory timelines and court processing of such petition, unless statutory exemptions apply;

(C)  reasonable efforts to finalize permanency plans; and

(D)  completion of relevant required family search and notifications and how such efforts are reviewed by courts.

(ii)   In cases in which it is determined that statutorily required timelines and efforts have not been satisfied, the Secretary shall make use of existing authority in making eligibility determinations and disallowances consistent with section 1123A(b)(3)(4) of the Act (42 U.S.C. 1320a-2a(b)(3)(4)).

(iii)  Within 2 years of the date of this order, the Secretary shall develop metrics to track permanency outcomes in each State and measure State performance over time.

(iv)   Within 6 months of the date of this order, the Secretary shall provide guidance to States regarding flexibility in the use of Federal funds to support and encourage high-quality legal representation for parents and children, including pre-petition representation, in their efforts to prevent the removal of children from their families, safely reunify children and parents, finalize permanency, and ensure that their voices are heard and their rights are protected.  The Secretary shall also ensure collection of data regarding State use of Federal funds for this purpose.

(b)  Risk and Safety Assessments.

(i)   Within 18 months of the date of this order, the Secretary shall collect States’ individual standards for conducting risk and safety assessments required under section 106(b)(2)(B)(iv) of the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (42 U.S.C. 5106(b)(2)(B)(iv)).

(ii)  Within 2 years of the date of this order, the Secretary shall outline reasonable best practice standards for risk and safety assessments, including how to address domestic violence and substance abuse.

No One Cares: Another Corporate Parental Commodity Is Destroyed In Michigan Child Welfare

Cornelius Fredericks
A typical Medicaid cost reimbursement
situation in foster care

No one cares about what goes on behind the iron curtain of child welfare, particularly Michigan, because it all started here.

Cornelius got lucky because he no longer has to scream.

Ricky Holland got lucky, too.

This is what Black Lives Matter is covering up, the children, because slavery was never abolished.

Gretchen knows well of the horrors of the Michigan Child Welfare System.

She got desensitized by the screams because the screams of children is an industry.

Someone needs to go ask her about her history with the Michigan Catholic Conference and the Archdiocese of Detroit, because Cornelius died by Medicaid Fraud in Child Welfare.

I am quite sure the facilities carry indemnification insurance coverage....and a life insurance policy on Cornelius....

Michigan teen died after screaming 'I can't breathe' while being restrained by staff member, lawsuit claims

WEST BLOOMFIELD, Mich. (AP) - A civil lawsuit filed Monday following the death of a 16-year-old in a Michigan youth facility says he screamed "I can't breathe" as at least one staff member placed their weight on the Black teen's chest for nearly 10 minutes.

The lawsuit filed in Kalamazoo County Circuit Court names Lakeside Academy in Kalamazoo and Sequel Youth and Family Services as defendants.

Cornelius Fredericks died May 1 after going into cardiac arrest April 29. At the time, authorities said he was being restrained by staff after throwing a sandwich.

His death came nearly a month before George Floyd died May 25 in Minneapolis with a white police officer's knee pressing his neck to the ground.

Floyd's dying words, "I can't breathe," have become a rallying call for people protesting police violence against Black people and racial injustice during demonstrations across the U.S.

"The excessive use of restraints and the lack of concern for Cornelius's life draw an eerily similar comparison to that of George Floyd's death," according to the lawsuit, which alleges negligence and says Lakeside staff improperly and wrongfully used restraints on Fredericks.

Authorities have not provided details of the race of the staff member or members involved.

"Video from Lakeside Academy even shows a staff member placing his/her weight directly on Cornelius's chest for nearly ten minutes as Cornelius lost consciousness," the lawsuit states. "Cornelius's scream of `I can't breathe' was not enough to get the staff members to stop the excessive restraint."

Detroit attorney Jon Marko, who filed the civil rights lawsuit, said he has yet to view the video, but that he spoke with the mother of another child in the facility.

That child "claims to have heard Cornelius scream `I can't breathe,"' Marko said, adding that a state Health and Human Services Department report confirmed that account.

The lawsuit seeks damages allowed under the Michigan Wrongful Death Act. No financial amount was specified.

The Associated Press left a message Monday seeking comment from Lakeside Academy.

Sequel Youth and Family Services told The AP in an email that it cannot comment on pending legal matters, but that it has terminated all staff involved and removed the former executive director of Lakeside.

"We have been in regular contact with law enforcement and state officials to help ensure justice is served and have accelerated the work that was already underway across our organization to move to a restraint-free model of care," the company said. "We take our obligation to meet the significant behavioral health needs of all our students incredibly seriously and remain focused on our mission of providing the absolute best care and treatment possible."

The foster care system or parents placed youths in Lakeside Academy, a residential treatment facility about 140 miles west of Detroit, to receive behavioral health services after being abused or neglected.

Fredericks was a ward of the state, Marko told reporters Monday.

His aunt, Tenia Goshay, is named in the lawsuit as the representative of Fredericks' estate. The teen's mother is dead. His father and rest of the family were not in a position to care for him, Marko said.

Fredericks had been at Lakeside Academy about two years, Goshay told reporters.

"I want to know what happened to my nephew," she said.

The state last week terminated its contracts with Lakeside for youth in Michigan's foster care and juvenile justice systems and said all 125 youth at Lakeside were placed in other "settings based on their individual needs."

The facility also had its license to operate suspended.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has told the department to cut ties with Sequel Youth and Family Services, which provided staffing to Lakeside Academy.

After Fredericks' death, Lakeside Academy officials said what happened didn't reflect the institution's mission to "serve and care for our clients with excellence."

But Michigan's Health and Human Services department has conducted more than 30 investigations since 2016 on maintenance, staff qualifications, discipline, behavior management, resident restraint and staff sufficiency at Lakeside Academy, the lawsuit said.

Six months prior to Fredericks' death there were six separate violations pertaining to improper use by staff of deescalation techniques, including improper restraints, according to the lawsuit, and at least eight employees had been fired since 2016 due to improper use of restraints, failure to use proper deescalation techniques or improperly supervising youth.

Michigan Health and Human Services officials have said an investigation of the for-profit academy found 10 licensing violations, including a failure to follow rules related to resident restraint and discipline.

Foster care teen's death prompts state to pull Michigan group home's contract, license

LANSING, Mich. — Prompted by the death of a teen who was wrongly restrained by staff, a Michigan facility for teenagers with behavioral problems on Thursday lost its contract with the state to care for youth in the state’s foster care and juvenile justice systems and its license to operate.

The termination of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services’ contract with Lakeside Academy in Kalamazoo came in the wake of the death last month of Cornelius Frederick. The 16-year-old went into cardiac arrest while being restrained on April 29 by Lakeside Academy staff. He died May 1. At the time, authorities said the teen was being restrained by staff after he threw a sandwich.

In announcing the termination of its contract and suspension of the operating license, Health and Human Services said an investigation of the for-profit Lakeside Academy found 10 licensing violations, including a failure to follow rules related to resident restraint and discipline. The agency contends the revocation of the license of a child caring institution is rare and occurs when there are serious licensing violations that make closure necessary to protect children.

Lakeside Academy officials did not immediately return calls for comment.

“MDHHS continues to mourn the loss of this young man’s life, which came needlessly to an end at the hands of those meant to care for him” said JooYeun Chang, executive director of the MDHHS Children’s Services Agency, in a prepared statement. “We are committed to protecting children and will not accept the completely unnecessary death of a youth who is deprived of the opportunity to grow up, complete his education, begin a career, and start a family.”

Kalamazoo County Prosecuting Attorney Jeff Getting said Thursday his office is reviewing completed investigations to determine if criminal charges are authorized in Frederick’s death.

"If charges are brought, my office will be prosecuting the cases,’’ Getting said.

At the time of Frederick’s death, Lakeside Academy officials said in a statement the incident didn’t reflect the institution’s mission to ``serve and care for our clients with excellence.”

However, Assistant Chief David Boysen of the Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety has said in the weeks leading up to Frederick’s death there were numerous calls for false fire alarms, runaway students and assaults. In addition, three chaotic days followed the boy’s death, as students fought and fled the facility.

Just before Health and Human Services announced its moves, the Legal Rights Center in Minneapolis called for Hennepin County, Minnesota, to stop placing children in Lakeside Academy for juvenile delinquency matters.

The county removed all Minnesota children from the facility after Frederick's death. However, center officials said that was is enough. They contend it is time to end the practice of removing children from local communities and confining them in correction facilities "under the pretense of providing therapeutic treatment."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lakeside Academy was ‘out of control’ prior to student death, police say

In the weeks leading up to the incident, Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety received an increase of calls for false fire alarms, runaway students and assaults, Assistant Chief David Boysen said.

No one ever listens to the silent screams.

Slavery was never abolished.

Happy Corporate Maternal Rights Day! Meet James Cottrell - Daddy Of Medicaid Fraud In Child Welfare

Meet James Cottrell.

James Cotrell seems to be the progenitor for the creation of the Lockean conjugal production of what is known as the Public Private Partnership where the paternal right of the U.S. impregnates, through the consent of congress, the appropriational semen funding of research grants its maternal NGO host, to gestate and birth an offspring of a fake ass authority, to go around to those god-foresaken "Third Worlds" (said with a hint of disdain), training those para-medical salvific saviors, to anesthetize tiny humans for those biogenetic lab rat experiments, and other nasty stuff, for the purposes of funding political campaigns, in order to generate the third generation of fake ass Corporate Shape Shifters, so they can continue to procure and purvey the trafficking of tiny humans, better recognized as the complex fraud scheme of modern day gerrymandering, otherwise, more readily understood as stealin' the children, land & vote, in the name of the tax exempt god, to maintain revenue maximization levels by warehousing more tiny humans goods, produced either by more tiny human girls or a petri dish, because, as a legally recognized corporate parent, with pseudo-animated spiritual rights of a functioning belief system, you do not need consent for personal inurement of a non-profit or for-profit, because your oath of fealty is to the Vatican, a foreign nation state, under the Queen Mother.

Whew! That was a mouthful!

Working on my 30 second elevator pitch.

His son is Paul Cottrell, but I like to call him Mr. Wannabe Tiny Human Mad Scientist because it seems that is what he wants to be when he grows up and gets his MD sheepskin.

Mr. Wannabe Tiny Human Mad Scientist used to live in Cass Corridor going to Wayne State University, but is really from Belleville.

He used to live in Iceland.

Now, Mr. Wannabe Tiny Human Mad Scientist is playing cover up for his family empire of Medicaid Fraud in Child Welfare.

https://sdny.news/schoenberger-moot-court/

Welcome to your first peek behind the Iron Curtain of Foster Care and Adoption.

Enjoy.

Maybe Mr. Wannabe Tiny Human Mad Scientist wants to grow up to own tiny human somatic cell nuclear transfer research companies like Peter Nygard. 

 I wonder if Mr. Wannabe Tiny Human Mad Scientist wants to be like James Taylor. 

Paul Cottrell is a researcher in chaos theory and has interests in modeling financial markets. Some have considered him a polymath of sorts. Born in Detroit, Michigan he has extensive professional experience in engineering and design. After retiring…See More

He went to Wayne State University where I went. He is a Predictive Modeling Crapper and it looks to me like it is Econometrics. He worked with Catholic Charities in New York, where my Pretty Preet has been all over for a long time.

Is this what you my Mr. Wannabe Tiny Human Mad Scientist is up to in Iceland? 

What is this? I dunno. Tiny human trust funds? The Ukrainian TCF Bank, perhaps?

What is this? https://offshoreleaks.icij.org/nodes/10020071

SHIELD INVESTMENTS INC. | ICIJ Offshore Leaks Database

We must definitely add Mr. Wannabe Tiny Human Mad Scientist to the list! 

I see SUNY https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Edward_Cottrell

What shall I find here?

Will I find you or your daddy here, Mr. Wannabe Tiny Human Mad Scientist?

Come out, come out, wherever you Cottrells are...

Oh, Boy! I bet I will find you here.

2019 Cottrell Scholar Conference Science Slam

A university infiltration network activity sheet! 

I found patents!

This is fun.

Frederick J. Petersen? Any relation to Monica Petersen?

So many chinese scientists. So many foundations. Looking a bit epstienismish to me. 

Well, lookie here, a Rothschild law firm. I wonder if they have any kin over there at Fox Rothschild, but I am quite sure there is no relation....ship.....with the Vatican. 

I bet they are stealin' patents.

Oh boy! Oh boy! More predictive modeling crapper databases! I feel like a pretty princess right about now! 

Please tell me these are not the same people. 

It is a go to network for operatives to infiltrate universities to fund their foreign research with our federal ate state dollars, oh, and money laundering, too.

You know they have a page for sponsors and affiliations in the form of lots and lots of more truncated root networks of tiny human trust funds foundations, because, as you well know, some of the tiny human whoops lab rats do grow up to need lots of Social Impact Bond programs to run those psychological, educational, socio-economic foreign lab rat programs to keep the doors of their Privateering Public Private Partnerships trafficking those tiny humans.

How cute, they made a second generation tiny human offspring fund.

Frederick Gardner Cottrell Foundation Frederick Gardner Cottrell Foundation Research Corporation Technologies established the Frederick Gardner Cottrell Foundation in December 1998 to provide financial support for scientific research and educational programs at qualified nonprofit organizations. RCT named the foundation in honor of the university professor and inventor who championed the transfer of academic innovation to public use. The Cottrell Foundation receives its support from donations made by RCT and is a private, non-operating entity. Since its formation, the foundation has provided nearly $13 million in support of selected scientific and educational programs throughout the United States. The Foundation does not accept unsolicited grant requests. For a copy of recent financial statements of the foundation, please contact Rebecca Buescher, Secretary, Frederick Gardner Cottrell Foundation, 6440 N. Swan Road, Suite 200, Tucson, AZ 85718.

This is what these people really mean when it comes to Families First!

The children's trust fund administration management system. 

Look at this. TARP 2,0 hustles to fund their research then sell it back to th US. Just wow. Absolutely no shame to their game because they are in Detroit.

Podesta?

He was adopted at 10, studied journalism then rocket fuel.

He researched the effects of anesthetics on lungs with humans.

Infant nuerosurgery, Belleview New York.

The architect of Medicaid fraud in child welfare.

Politicians and movie stars to come to his meetings in research. Tucker Carlson and Hillary Clinton, of whom I do so adoringly call "Skankels" (A merging of the concepts - a skank and an older woman with gravity expansive wine loaded ankles.)

"She sells transposable models."

Happy Corporate Maternal Rights Day!

Awards, the entire kit and caboodle in research, including Nobel Prize winners.

He was known as the Kosher Hot Dog President.

 It seems he conjured up what is known and the university box lunch consortia for recruitment.

Perinstsl Research Corporate Risk Mitigation hitmen for hire to identify irresponsible testimony to discredit expert witnesses in court by providing their own manufactured witnesses, verified with their own accreditation networks.

Africa research.

Pediatric with the whoops babies

 He worked with military friends. Generals and stuff.

Fake ass jack legged doctors human resource network.

Each time a prolifer screams bloody murder of a tiny human, another zygote is dissected to discover another children's trust fund mutational modern day human trafficking scheme, in the name of the lord.

BARTLETT: MR. SPEAKER, I WAS IN MY OFFICE LAST EVENING ABOUT 11:00, AS WAS ALL THE REST OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES WAITING FOR A RESOLUTION OF SOME OF THE CONCERNS ON THE TRANSPORTATION BILL SO THAT WE COULD VOTE ON IT, WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT THE DRUDGE REPORT ON OUR SCREEN AND WE SAW THERE A HEADLINE THAT I COULD HARDLY BELIEVE.

THAT SENATOR FRIST HAD REVERSED HIS POSITION ON EMBRYONIC SELLS -- STEM CELLS. WAS NOW ADVOCATING THE PASSAGE OF THE SENATE VERSION OF H.R. 810. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TODAY WITH STEM CELLS, EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS BEING SO MUCH IN THE NEWS IF WE COULD SPEND A FEW MINUTES LOOKING AT WHAT STEM CELLS ARE AND WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT.

WHAT WAS SENATOR FRIST TALKING ABOUT AND WHAT IS THE ISSUE HERE?

I HAVE HERE ON THE EASEL A CHART THAT SHOWS THE DEVELOPMENT, NOT ALL OF THE STAGES, BUT IT SHOWS THE DEVELOPMENT THE HUMAN EMBRYO.

IT STARTS WITH A ZYGOTE. THE ZYGOTE IS THE FERTILIZED EGG THAT NOW HAS CHROMOSOMES, GENES FROM THE SPERM AND GENES FROM THE EGG, HAVING WHAT WE CALL THE DIPLOID NUMBER OF CHROMOSOMES.

THAT DEVELOPS THROUGH SEVERAL STAGES, THROUGH THE BLASTOCYST STAGE AND TO THE GASTRULA STAGE. BY THE TIME YOU GET TO THE GAST LA -- GAST RUE LA STAGE, THE EMBRYO HAS DEVELOPED INTO A LARGE NUMBER OF CELLS.

AND WHAT'S SHOWN HERE IS THE EMBRYO AND THE PART OF THE WALL OF THE UTERUS TO WHICH IT IS ATTACHED.

BY THIS STAGE IN ITS DEVELOPMENT, THE EMBRYO HAS ALREADY NOW DEVELOPED FOUR VERY SPECIFIC STEM CELLS THAT WILL GO ON TO PRODUCE A VARIETY OF TISSUES AND ORGANS IN THE BODY, ALL OF THE TISSUES AND THE ORGANS IN THE BODY.

WE SEE THOSE DOWN HERE AT THE BOTTOM. SOME OF THEM DEVELOPMENT INTO ECTODERM THE EXTERNAL LAYER.

THE ECTODERM BECOMES TWO THINGS IN THE DEVELOPING BABY AND THE ADULT.

IT BECOMES THE SKIN AND THE NERVOUS SYSTEM AND SOME OF THE PIGMENT CELLS.

MOST OF WHAT WE ARE IN TERMS OF MASS IS ALL DEVELOPED FROM THE MIDDLE LAYER OR FROM THE MESODERM, FROM THAT DEVELOPS ALL OF YOUR SKELETAL MUSCLE, ALL OF YOUR BONES, ALL OF YOUR HEART MUSCLE. THE RED BLOOD CELLS, THE SMOOTH MUSCLE IN YOUR SBESTENS AND STOMACH SBSHSBEST -- AND YOUR INTES TIRKS NES.

THE ENTODERM IS THE LINING OF THE LUNG, THE THYROID GLAND, PANCREATIC CELLS, NOWHERE NEAR THE PASS PRODUCED BY THE MESODERM, BUT VERY IMPORTANT TISSUES NEVERTHELESS. THERE ARE SOME VERY UNIQUE CELLS DIFFERENT IN THE MALE AND THE FEMALE. THE GERM CELLS.

IN THE MALE THEY PRODUCE THE SPERM AND IN THE FEMALE THEY PRODUCE THE EGG.

SOME OF THESE STEM CELLS PERSIST EVEN INTO THE ADULT. IN THE BONE MARROW OF EVERY ADULT ARE STEM CELLS WHICH WILL PRODUCE YOUR RED BLOOD CELLS AND SOME OF YOUR WHITE BLOOD CELLS, WILL PRODUCE THOSE CELLS IN CLOTTING, THE THROMBOCYTE.

THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF RESEARCH FOR MORE THAN THREE DECADES NOW ON USING THESE STEM CELLS TO SEE IF WE CAN'T CURE -- HELP PATIENTS WITH A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT DISEASES. THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF GOOD APPLICATIONS OF ADULT STEM CELLS.

THEY HAVE PRODUCED IN SOME CATIONS WHAT LOOKS LIKE ACTUAL CURES. BUT THESE ZULT STEM CELLS ARE LIMITED IN THEIR -- BUT THESE ADULT STEM CELLS ARE LIMBED IN THEIR CAPABILITY.

THEY ARE DIFFERENTIATED. THEY HAVE SPLIT AND ARE NOW DESTENED TO PRODUCE ONLY CERTAIN KINDS OF CELLS.

WHAT THE RESEARCHER TRIES TO DO AT TIMES IS TO TAKE THESE ADULT STEM CELLS AND PUT THEM IN AN ENVIRONMENT THAT CONVINCES THEM THEY ARE NOT AN ADULT STELL -- STEM CELL BUT BACK TO AN EMBRYONIC STEM CELL.

THE ULTIMATE EMBRYONIC STEM CELL IS THE ZYGOTE, ONE CELL WHICH WILL DIVIDE AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND DIFFERENTIATE AND FINALLY PRODUCE ALL OF THE CELLS OF THE BODY.

BUT HERE IN THE BLASTULA STAGE THE CELLS ARE DIFFERENTIATED IN TWO CATEGORIES. THOSE CELLS THAT WILL PRODUCE THE EMBRYO SHOWN HERE IN THE INNER CELL MASS AND THOSE CELLS WHICH WILL PRODUCE THE DECIDUA, THE CELLS AROUND THIS WHICH WILL BECOME AMNION AND CORION, PARTS OF THE PLACENTA. IN THE STAGE JUST BEFORE THIS ARE THE CELLS THAT CAN PRODUCE THE FULL EMBRYO.

I WOULD LIKE NOW TO LOOK AT OUR NEXT CHART HERE BECAUSE THIS SHOWS THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE EMBRYO AND IT HAS ALL OF THE STAGES THERE.

IT STARTS WITH THE ZYGOTE. HERE WE HAVE THE FERTILIZED EGG OR THE ZYGOTE. OF COURSE, THIS ALL BEGINS WITH AN OVARY.

THIS IS ONLY HALF OF THE REPRODUCTION SYSTEM OF THE FEMALE. AN OVARY WHICH, EVERY MONTH, ROUTINELY DURING THE CHILD BEARING YEARS, WILL PRODUCE AN OVUM.

HERE IS IS THE FOLLICLE RUPTURING AND THE OVUM COMING OUT.

HERE IS THE OOCYTE.

IT MAKES ITS WAY INTO THE FLOPIAN TUBE.

SOMETIMES THEY GET INTO THE ABDOMINAL CAVITY.

SOMETIMES THIS EGG IS NOT PICKED UP BY THIS FUNNEL SHAPED END AND SOMETIMES THAT CELL DOESN'T GET OUT THERE AND GET PICKED UP BY THE FALLOPIAN TUBE AND CARRIED DOWN WITH THE BEATING OF A NUMBER OF CYLIA AND GOES INTO THE BODY CAVITY.

THE SPERM GET OUT THERE TO.

THEY CAN BE FERTILIZED AND WE CALL THAT AN ECTOPIC PREGNANCY.

THE BABY CAN'T DEVELOP THERE AND WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS FOR THE MOTHER. SO THIS ECTOPIC PREGNANCY NEEDS TO BE TERMINATED BECAUSE IT WILL RESULT IN THE DEATH OF THE MOTHER IF IT CONTINUES.

AFTER FERTILIZATION THE EGG BEGINS ITS JOURNEY, TAKING SEVERAL DAYS, MAYBE AS MANY AS EIGHT, NINE, 10 DAYS UNTIL IT FINALLY REACHES THE END OF THE JOURNEY AND IMPLANTED INTO THE WALL OF THE UTERUS.

IT DIVIDES, FIRST TWO CELLS, THEN FOUR CELLS, AND THEN EIGHT CELLS. I WOULD LIKE TO PAUSE FOR JUST A MOMENT AT THAT EIGHT-CELL STAGE AND IMAGINE NOW WE ARE NOT IN THE REPRODUCTIVE TRACT OF THE FEMALE BUT IN A PETRI DISH IN THE LABORATORY.

BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT IN VITRO FERTILIZATION MEANS. THEY HAVE TAKEN THE EGG FROM THE MOTHER AND SPERM FROM THE FATHER AND COMBINED THESE TWO AND PRODUCED THE ZYGOTE.

IT DIVIDES AND DIVIDES UNTIL IT COMES TO THE EIGHT-CELL STAGE. AT THIS STAGE MORE THAN 1,000 TIMES WORLDWIDE IN ONE CLINIC IN ENGLAND MORE THAN 600 TIMES, THEY'VE TAKEN IN THE LABORATORY UNDER THE MICROSCOPE, A CELL AND SOMETIMES THEY GET TWO FROM THAT EIGHT-CELL STAGE AND THEY'VE DONE WHAT THEY CALL A PREIMPLANTATION GENETIC DIAGNOSIS.

THEY LOOK AT THE GENES AND YOU CAN DO THAT.

WE NOW KNOW WHAT THEY OUGHT TO LOOK LIKE AND THEY CAN DETERMINE IF THERE IS ANY GENETIC DEFECT.

WINSTON CUP DEFECT IS CALLED TRISOMI 21, MONGOLISM. IF THERE IS AN EXTRA CHROMOSOME YOU GET MONGOLISM.

IF THERE IS NO DEFECT IN THE CELL THEY ANALYZE, WHICH WILL BE LIKE ALL THE OTHER CELLS, THEN THEY IMPLANT WHAT IS REMAINING, THAT IS THE SIX OR SEVEN CELLS THAT ARE REMAINING AND NOW MORE THAN 1,000 TIMES WORLDWIDE WE'VE HAD WHAT LOOKS LIKE A PERFECTLY NORMAL BABY BORN FROM THIS PROCESS.

THIS TECHNIQUE, WHICH HAS BEEN WIDELY USED IN ENGLAND, IS NOW USED IN THIS COUNTRY.

JUST OUTSIDE OF WASHINGTON IN VIRGINIA IS A CLINIC THAT IS DOING THIS. THEY HAVE DONE IT MORE THAN 300 TIMES.

SEVERAL WEEKS AGO I TALKED FOR PERHAPS A HALF-HOUR WITH TWO OF THEIR DOCTORS ABOUT THE PROCEDURE. LET'S NOW TAKE A LOOK AT HOW THEY GET EMBRYONIC STEM CELL LINES. THEY TAKE AN EMBRYO IN THE LABORATORY, WHICH HAS BEEN PRODUCED BY THE FERTILIZATION OF AN EGG, AND THEY LET IT DEVELOP, NOT TO THE EIGHT-CELL STAGE, THEY GO JUST A LITTLE BEYOND THAT.

THEY GO TO THE INNER CELL MASS AND THEN THEY DESTROY THE EMBRYO AND THERE ARE NOW A LOT OF CELLS, NOT JUST EIGHT.

AND THEY TAKE A NUMBER OF THE CELLS FROM THE INNER CELL MASS WHICH I INDICATED PREVIOUSLY HAVE ALL THE GENETIC POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE THE BODY OF THE BABY, BUT NONE OF THE GENETIC DETAIL TO PRODUCE THE DECIDUA. THE DECIDUA, THE FINGERS LIKE THAT ARE GROWING INTO THE LINING OF THE UTERUS.

WHAT THIS DEBATE IS ALL ABOUT, MR. SPEAKER, IS ABOUT THE MORALITY, REALLY, THE ETHICS OF TAKING THIS LITTLE EMBRYO, WHICH IS A BABY IN MINIATURE BECAUSE IF YOU SEE IF IT GOES ON JUST A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER AND IMPLANTS IN THE UTERUS, IT WILL BECOME A BABY.

IT IS NOW IN THE PETRI DISH, BUT IT CAN BE IMPLANTED INTO THE UTERUS. TO TAKE THIS EMBRYO AND DESTROY IT AND TAKE THE CELLS FROM TINNER CELL MASS TO PRODUCE A STEM CELL LINE.

UP TO THIS TIME, THAT'S BEEN THE ONLY TECHNIQUE THAT HAS BEEN AVAILABLE FOR DEVELOPING THESE STEM CELL LINES. AND THE PRESIDENT HAD A VERY DIFFICULT DECISION TO MAKE FOUR YEARS AGO WHEN THERE WAS AN INTEREST OF USING FEDERAL MONEY.

MAYBE WE SHOULD PAUSE TO SEE WHY WE ARE SO MUCH INTERESTED IN STEM CELL RESEARCH .

BECAUSE THESE STEM CELLS AS THE EARLIER SLIDE SHOWED, CAN PRODUCE ALL OF THE TISSUES IN THE BODY, THERE IS THE HOPE, THE PROMISE, AND, IN FACT, THE REALIZATION OF SOME OF THE WORK WE HAVE DONE WITH ADULT STEM CELLS THAT WE CAN USE THESE STEM CELLS TO REPLACE TISSUES WHICH HAVE BEEN DAMAGED BY DISEASE OR SOME OTHER TRAUMA IN THE BODY.

WE CAN REPLACE THOSE SO AS TO RESTORE HEALTH. NOW, WE HAVE A LOT OF APPLICATIONS FROM ADULT STEM CELLS AND NO APPLICATIONS FROM EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS.

WHY SHOULD WE HAVE THIS DEBATE ABOUT EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS WHEN ALL OF THE APPLICATIONS HAVE BEEN FROM ADULT STEM CELLS.

WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH ADULT STEM CELLS FOR MORE THAN THREE DECADES.

WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE APPLICATIONS THERE.

WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS FOR ONLY ABOUT SIX YEARS AND THERE JUST HASN'T BEEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THE MEDICAL APPLICATION FROM EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS THAT WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MAKE FROM ADULT STEM CELLS. BUT BECAUSE OF WHAT EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS ARE, BECAUSE EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS STILL HAVE ALL OF THE CAPABILITY TO PRODUCE ANY AND EVERY TISSUE IN THE BODY, DOCTORS AND RESEARCHERS BELIEVE INTUITIVELY FROM WHAT THEY KNOW OF EMB RYOLOGY THERE OUGHT TO BE MORE AND BETTER APPLICATIONS FROM EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS THAN ADULT STEM CELLS.

WE DON'T KNOW.

IT MAY BE THESE EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS MAY BE LIKE UNRULEY TEENAGERS, VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL.

YOU SEE, THEIR DESTINY IN LIFE IS TO TWIDE AND DIVIDE AND DIVIDE. WE WANT THEM TO DO THAT, BUT WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO CONTROL HOW THEY DIVIDE AND WHAT THEY PRODUCE.

IF IT'S A LIVER THAT YOUR PATIENT NEEDS, YOU NEED NOW TO CONVINCE THE EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS THAT'S WHAT THEY OUGHT TO BE PRODUCING. WHEN THEY HAVE DONE ENOUGH, THEY HAVE DONE ENOUGH AND THEY NEED TO QUIT. IT MAY BE THAT THEY ARE GOING TO BE VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL, LIKE THE UNRULEY TEENAGER, THEY MAY KEEP ON DIVIDING, WHEN YOU PUT THEM IN THE BODY THEY MAY END UP FORMING TUMORS. WE WON'T KNOW UNTIL WE DO THAT RESEARCH.

BECAUSE OF WHAT EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS ARE AND BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO PRODUCE ANY AND EVERY CELL IN THE BODY, MANY AMERICANS BELIEVE THAT THERE MAY BE REALLY IMPORTANT APPLICATIONS FROM EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS TO MEDICINE.

WE DESERVE TO PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITIES SO THAT THAT CAN BE DONE WITHOUT HARMING THE EMBRYO.

UP TO THIS DATE THE ONLY WAY THAT WE HAVE GOTTEN THESE EMBRYONIC STEM CELL LINES STARTED IS BY TAKING SOME OF THE CELLS FROM THIS INNER CELL MASS AND -- WHICH DESTROYS THE EMBRYO.

IN 2001 THE PRESIDENT WAS FACED WITH A VERY DIFFICULT DECISION.

HE NEEDED TO DETERMINE WHETHER FEDERAL FUNDS COULD BE USED IN EMBRYONIC STEM CELL RESEARCH WHEN THE ONLY WAY TO GET EMBRYOS AT THAT TIME WAS BY DESTROYING THE EMBRYO.

WHEN THE PRESIDENT WAS DELIBERATING, MAKING THAT DIFFICULT DECISION, THE SCIENTISTS AT N.I.H. HAD AN OPEN HOUSE FOR MEMBERS OF THE STAFF HERE AND MEMBERS OF CONGRESS TO COME TO N.I.H. TO LEARN ABOUT BRETCH -- EMBRYONIC STEM CELL RESEARCH AND THE POTENTIALS, AND I WENT THERE, MR. SPEAKER, AND I LISTENED TO THEIR PRESENTATIONS AND BECAUSE IN A FORMER LIFE I WAS PRIVILEGED TO BE ABLE TO GET A PH.D. , A DOCTOR'S DEGREE IN HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY, BECAUSE I TAUGHT MEDICAL SCHOOL, BECAUSE I HAD A COURSE IN ADVANCED EMBRYOLOGY, I KNEW A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT.

AS THE NEXT CHART SHOWS.

THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE: WILL THE GENTLEMAN SUSPEND FOR A MOMENT. THE CHAIR WILL RECEIVE A MESSAGE.

THE MESSENGER: MR. SPEAKER A. MESSAGE FROM THE SENATE. THE SECRETARY: MR. SPEAKER. THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE: MADAM SECRETARY. THE SECRETARY: I HAVE BEEN DIRECTED BY THE SENATE TO INFORM THE HOUSE THAT THE SENATE HAS AGREED TO THE CONFERENCE REPORT ON H.R. 6, AN ACT TO ENSURE JOBS FOR OUR FUTURE WITH SECURE, AFFORDABLE, AND RELIABLE ENERGY.

THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE: THE GENTLEMAN MAY PROCEED.

MR. BARTLETT: THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER. AS I MENTIONED WHEN I SAT THERE LISTENING TO THE RESEARCHERS AT N.I.H. EXPLAINING WHAT THEY WERE DOING AND THE DREAMS AND THE HOPES THAT THEY HAD FOR THE APPLICATIONS OF EMBRYONIC STEM CELL RESEARCH AND WHEN I THOUGHT OF THE DILEMMA THAT THE PRESIDENT WAS IN IN TRYING TO DECIDE WHETHER IT WAS OK TO DESTROY THESE EMBRYOS TO GET A STEM CELL LINE TO GET SOMETHING THAT WOULD COME UP WITH MIRACULOUS CURES, I THOUGHT BACK TO MY STUDIES AND TO A COURSE THAT I HAD IN ADVANCED EMBRYOLOGY -- YOU DON'T NEED TO HAVE THE COURSE TO UNDERSTAND THIS. EVERYBODY CAN UNDERSTAND THIS. IT OCCURRED TO ME THAT NATURE HAD BEEN DOING FOR A VERY LONG TIME WHAT WE NEEDED TO DO, AND THAT WAS TO TAKE CELLS FROM THE EARLY EMBRYO WITHOUT HURTING THE EMBRYO.

HOW DID NATURE DO THIS?

NATURE HAD BEEN DOING THIS FOR A LONG TIME BY PRODUCING IDENTICAL TWINS.

YOU SEE, AN IDENTICAL TWIN HALF OF THE CELLS ARE TAKEN AWAY FROM THE EMBRYO, AND EACH HALF GOES ON TO PRODUCE A PERFECTLY NORMAL BABY.

BY THE WAY, MR. SPEAKER, ONE OF THOSE IDENTICAL TWINS IS A CLONE.

YOU DECIDE WHICH ONE IT IS, AND YOU THINK ABOUT THAT, MR. SPEAKER, AND DEE DECIDE HOW THIS RELATES TO THE DIALOGUE THAT WE ARE HAVING ON CLONING.

THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT TIMES DURING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE EMBRYO, AT LEAST TWO, MAYBE MORE, BUT AT LEAST TWO DIFFERENT TIMES DURING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE EMBRYO THAT IT CAN SPLIT TO PRODUCE IDENTICAL TWINS. ONE IS AT THE TWO-CELL STAGE WHEN, THERE ARE TWO CELLS THERE AND INSTEAD OF JUST DIVIDING TO MAKE FOUR CELLS, IT SPLITS SO THAT THERE IS NOW TWO ONE-CELL EMBRYOS, AND EACH GOES ON TO DIVIDE AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN, FINALLY TO PRODUCE A BABY.

OR IT CAN WAIT UNTIL THE INNER CELL MASS STAGE, AT WHICH TIME IN SOME EMBRYOS ONCE IN A WHILE THERE ARE TWO INNER CELL MASSES , AND THAT CAN NOW SPLIT TO PERFORM IDENTICAL TWINS.

AS YOU KNOW, MR. SPEAKER, SOMETIMES THIS ISN'T PERFECT.

AND THEY DON'T SPLIT TOTALLY.

WE HAVE WHAT WE CALL SIAMESE TWINS.

THIS IS THE ORIGIN OF SIAMESE TWINS WHEN THE SPLIT HAS OCCURRED PROBABLY AT THE INNER CELL MASS STAGE AND IT HASN'T BEEN COMPLETE AND THEY REMAIN CLOSE ENOUGH TOGETHER THAT SOME PARTS OF THE BODY GROW TOGETHER.

NOW, WE KNOW THAT THE EGGS ARE CAPABLE, THE EMBRYO IS CAPABLE OF SPLITTING AT THESE TWO DIFFERENT STAGES BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE BABIES PRESENT THEMSELVES AT BIRTH. IF THEY ARE BOTH INSIDE THE SAME EMANYONIC SACK, THEY ARE SPLIT AT THE TWO CELLS STAGE. IF THEY EACH HAVE THEIR OWN EMBRYO, THEY PROBABLY SPLIT LATER ON, PROBABLY AT THE INNER CELL MASS STAGE.

IT OCCURRED TO ME SINCE NATURE MANY TIMES TAKES HALF OF THE CELLS AWAY FROM THE EARLY EMBRYO, AND THEY GO ON TO PRODUCE TWO PERFECTLY NORMAL BABIES, THAT WE OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO TAKE A CELL OR TWO FROM AN EARLY EMBRYO WITHOUT HURTING THE EARLY EMBRYO, AND I ASKED THE SCIENTISTS AT N.I.H., SHOULDN'T WE BE ABLE TO DO THIS?

THEY SAID, WELL, NATURE'S BEEN DOING IT FOR A LONG TIME.

WE OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO DO IT.

WE HAVE NOT DONE IT.

BUT WE OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO DO IT.

A LITTLE BIT AFTER THAT I WAS AT AN EVENT WHEN THE PRESIDENT WAS THERE AND I MENTIONED THIS PONLT TO THE PRESIDENT, HE -- POSSIBILITY TO THE PRESIDENT, AND HE HADN'T COME OUT WITH THE EXECUTIVE ORDER.

HE ASKED KARL ROVE TO FOLLOW UP.

AND A FEW DAYS LATER I GOT A CALL SAYING THAT THE WHITE HOUSE TOLD HIM WHAT I WAS PROPOSING WASN'T DOABLE.

I SAID, KARL, EITHER THEY DIDN'T UNDERSTAND YOUR QUESTION OR THERE'S SOME CONFUSION BECAUSE THESE ARE THE SAME PEOPLE THAT CAN TAKE A SINGLE CELL AND TAKE THE NUCLEUS OUT OF THAT CELL AND PUT ANOTHER IN IT.

OF COURSE THEY CAN TAKE A CELL OUT OF AN EARLY EMBRYO.

SO WE WENT BACK AND ASKED HIM AGAIN HE CAME BACK AND SAID HE GOT THE SAME ANSWER FROM THEM.

THAT THEY COULDN'T DO THIS. SO THE PRESIDENT CAME DOWN WITH HIS EXECUTIVE ORDER. A COUPLE YEARS AFTER THAT, NOT VERY MANY MONTHS AGO, AS A MATTER OF FACT, THE PEOPLE AT N.I.H. WERE SITTING IN MY OFFICE AND I ASKED THEM HOW COULD THIS HAVE HAPPENED?

WHAT APPARENTLY HAPPENED, WHAT SO OFTEN HAPPENS IN COMMUNICATIONS, THERE IS A MISCOMMUNICATION. WHAT THEY HAD TOLD KARL ROVE WAS THAT THEY WEREN'T SURE THEY COULD PRODUCE AN EMBRYONIC STEM CELL LINE FROM AN EMBRYO THAT EARLY.

BECAUSE THEY HAD NEVER DONE IT. NOT THAT IT WASN'T DOABLE. JUST THEY HAD NEVER DONE IT. HE INTERPRETED THIS AS SAYING, GEE, THEY COULDN'T TAKE THIS CELL AND THEREFORE THE RESEARCH COULDN'T BE DONE.

I'D LIKE TO SPEND JUST A MOMENT, MR. SPEAKER, LOOKING AT SOME OF THE REASONS THAT PEOPLE ARE SO CONCERNED AND WHY THIS WAS SUCH AN IMPORTANT DECISION ON THE PART OF THE PARENT OF THE PRESIDENT -- OF THE PRESIDENT AND WHY SENATOR FRIST'S DECISION LAST NIGHT HAS STIRRED UP SO MUCH CONTROVERSY.

IT'S BECAUSE THERE ARE A VERY LARGE NUMBER OF DISEASES THAT HAVE THE POTENTIAL OF BEING CURED ULTIMATELY WITH APPLICATION OF STEM CELLS.

LET ME GIVE YOU ONE OF THOSE WHICH IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE DISEASE IN OUR WHOLE COUNTRY, AND THAT'S DIABETES.

AND I HAVE BEEN IN MY OFFICE SEVERAL TIMES WHEN THE CHILDREN COME THROUGH WITH JUVENILE DIABETES -- IF YOU WANT A HEARTRENDING EXPERIENCE, MR. SPEAKER, THIS IS IT.

THESE KIDS COME IN WITH THIS HOCKEY PUCK LIKE THING UNDER THEIR SKIN, WHICH IS AN INSULIN PUMP BECAUSE THEY ARE SO BRITTLE THEY HAVE TO BE BRICKING THEIR FINGER OR THEIR THUMB OR EAR LOBE OR SOMETHING A NUMBER OF TIMES A DAY TO GET A GLUCOSE LEVEL SO THEY CAN SET THE PUMP SO THEY ARE GETTING THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF INSULIN IN, THEY ARE SO BRITTLE THEY CAN'T DO IT A FEW TIMES A DAY, IT HAS TO BE PUMPED IN REGULARLY ALONG.

THIS IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE DISEASE IN OUR COUNTRY.

AND IT IS POTENTIALLY TOTALLY CURABLE WITH STEM CELL APPLICATIONS. ALL YOU NEED TO DO, MR. SPEAKER, IS TO PRODUCE SOME IDENTIFYLET OF LONGER HAN CELLS.

THESE ARE THE CELLS THAT JUST HAPPEN TO BE EMBEDDED IN THE PANCREAS. I HAVE NO REASON WHY THEY NEED TO BE IN THE PANCREAS, THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FUNCTION OF THE PANCREAS BECAUSE THE PANCREAS IS A BIG DIE JESSIVE GLAND AT THE TOP OF THE INTESTINE THAT PRODUCE ENZYMES THAT DIE JESS FATS, AND CARBOHYDRATES.

EMBEDED IN THE ISSUE ARE WHAT LOOK LIKE THESE LITTLE ISLANDS, THE GERMAN, AS HE LOOKED UNDER THE MICROSCOPE, SO WE CALL THEM THE ILETS OF LONGERHAN. INSULIN DOESN'T CURE DIABETES.

AS ANY PERSON WHO HAS DIABETES KNOWS.

IT SIMPLY DELAYS THE COURSE OF THE DISEASE, STILL THERE MAY ULTIMATELY BE PROBLEMS WITH THE EYES, PROBLEMS WITH CIRCULATION.

YOU LOSE SOME TOES. GANG GREEN SETS IN. -- GANGRENE SETS IN.

IF WE COULD CREATISLET -- CREATE ILET OF LONGERHAHN CELLS. ANYWHERE THE BLOOD CAN GET TO THEM SOT SOW THE KIRK LATION CAN PICK UP THE HORMONE PRODUCED BY THIS, THIS SHOULD CURE THE DISEASE.

PARTICULARLY THE MANY AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES, THERE ARE 63 AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES.

THESE ARE DISEASES WHAT THE BODY GETS CONFUSED WHAT'S REALLY BODY.

WHAT'S INTERESTING WITH THESE EARLY EMBRYOS, OBVIOUSLIEE WEE NEED TO KNOW WHAT'S US SO WHAT'S FOREIGN TO US IS GOING TO BE REJECTED WHEN IT COMES IN.

WHEN YOU GET INSIDE YOUR BODY, THERE ARE NO BACTERIA IN THERE. THAT'S A PRISTINE WORLD. WE HAVE A BIG ARMY OF WHITE CELLS IN THERE THAT MAKE SURE THAT IT KEEPS IT PRISTINE.

THESE WHITE CELLS ARE TOLD BY WHAT WE CALL T CELLS AS TO WHAT'S YOU AND WHAT'S NOT YOU SO THAT THEY ATTACK WHAT'S NOT YOU.

SOMETIMES, AND IN MORE PEOPLE THAN WE'D LIKE TO HAVE IT OCCUR, SOMETIMES THE BODY GETS CONFUSED AS TO WHAT'S REALLY YOU.

I HAVE A LITTLE PROBLEM, RULE TORREY ARTRY TIES. THAT'S AN AUTO IMMUNE DISEASE WHERE THE BODY HAS -- IT'S CONFUSED SO IT STARTED ATTACKING IT SELF.

THERE ARE 63 OF THOSE DISEASES. POTENTIALLY ALL OF THEM COULD BE ADDRESSED WITH STEM CELL RESEARCH.

ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE, VERY TRAGIC DISEASE, CENTRAL NERVE INJURY, YOU INJURE YOUR SPINAL CORD THEY DON'T GROW BACK, THERE IS THE POTENTIAL YOU COULD PUT NEW CELLS IN THERE AND PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THE WHEELCHAIR COULD WALK NEN GWEN. THERE IS THAT POTENTIAL.

WHICH IS EIGHTY GREAT INTEREST IN EMBRYONIC AND IN GENERAL STEM CELL RESEARCH, PARTICULARLY IN EMBRYONIC STEM CELL RESEARCH BECAUSE OF THE ENORMOUS POTENTIAL THEY OUGHT TO HAVE BECAUSE THEY ARE SO TOTALLY UNDIFFERENTIATED BECAUSE THEY CAN PRODUCE ANY AND EVERY CELL IN THE BODY.

I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE WHITE HOUSE, WITH THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH, WITH THE OF CATHOLIC BISHOPS, WITH THE PRO-LIFE COMMUNITY IN DEVELOPING A BILL THAT IS H.R. 3144, WHICH WOULD PERMIT RESEARCH ON NOT JUST THE PROCEDURE WHICH I RECOMMENDED MORE THAN FOUR YEARS AGO NOW, BUT SEVERAL OTHER PROCEDURES THAT ARE OUTLINED IN A BILL LOOK WHICH I HAVE HERE, CALLED "ALTERNATIVE SOURCES OF HUMAN PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS, A WHITE PAPER, PRODUCED BY THE PRESIDENT'S COUNCIL ON BIOETHICS. " THEY TALK HERE ABOUT FOUR DIFFERENT KINDS OF RESEARCH THAT -- FOUR DIFFERENT KINDS OF WAYS OF PROCURING EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS THAT MIGHT BE ETHICALLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE PRO-LIFE COMMUNITY.

THE FIRST OF THESE IS PLURIPOTENT, BY PLURIPOTENT THEY MEAN CELLS THAT HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO PRODUCE ALL OF THE TISSUES OF THE EMBRYO BUT NOT THE DECIDUA.

PLURIPOTENT SELLS DERIVE FROM EMBRYOS THAT ARE ESSENTIALLY MORIBUND, DEAD.

THE EQUIVALENT, IF YOU WILL, OF AN ADULT THAT IS BRAIN-DEAD.

IT'S PERFECTLY ETHICAL, MOST PEOPLE BELIEVE, TO TAKE ORGANS, THAT'S HOW WE GET ORGANS FOR TRANSPLANT, FROM ADULTS THAT ARE BRAIN-DEAD.

IF YOU HAVE AN EMBRYO WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY NOT GOING TO DEVELOP BUT IT STILL IS ALIVE ENOUGH YOU MIGHT TAKE CELLS FROM IT TO PRODUCE A STEM CELL LINE, IF YOU KNEW IT WAS DEAD, IT COULD NEVER PRODUCE A BABY, ETHICALLY IT WOULD APPEAR TO MANY PEOPLE TO BE OK TO TAKE THAT -- CELLS FROM THAT TO ESTABLISH THE STEM CELL LINE.

YOU MIGHT HAVE A LITTLE CONCERN THAT AN EMBRYO THAT SAT THERE A DAY OR TWO AND NEVER DIVIDED, BECAUSE IT WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT, THAT THE CELL YOU TOOK FROM IT TO PRODUCE THE STEM CELL LINE MIGHT NOT PRODUCE JUST THE HIGH QUALITY STEM CELL LINE THAT YOU MIGHT LIKE FOR RESEARCH, BUT AT LEAST IT'S WORTH EXPLORING AND IT GETS BY THE ETHICAL ARGUMENTS.

THE SECOND ONE OF THEIR PROPOSALS, I'D LIKE TO LOOK AT THE NEXT CHART AS WE DO THAT, THE NEXT CHART BECAUSE LET ME LOOK AT THIS CHART FOR A MOMENT HERE WITH YOU, THIS COMES FROM A WHITE PAPER ON THE PRESIDENT'S COUNCIL ON BIO ETHICS, AND LET ME LOOK AT THE HIGHLIGHTED PORTION, IT MAY BE SOME TIME BEFORE STEM CELLS CAN BE RELIABLY DERESERVED FROM SINGLE CELLS EXTRACTED FROM EARLY EMBRYO, A PROCEDURE THAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT THAT OCCURRED TO ME WHEN I WAS AT N.I.H. TALKING TO THE INVESTIGATORS THERE. AND IN WAYS THAT DO NO HARM TO THE EMBRYO, THUS BIOPSIED. THE INITIAL SUCCESS OF THE VERLINSKY.

VERLINSKY SAYS HE HAS DONE WHAT N.I.H. HAS SAID THEY ARE NOT SURE THEY COULD CAN, SPRUCE AN EMBRYONIC STEM CELL STEM CELL LINE FROM ONE EMBRYO.

 RAISING THE POSSIBILITY THAT PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS CAN BE TAKEN FROM A BLASTOMERE, REMOVED FROM EARLY HUMAN EMBRYOS WITHOUT HARMING THEM. THE ASTERISK THERE.

IF YOU LOOK DOWN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE A SIMILAR IDEA WAS PROPOSED BY REPRESENTATIVE ROSCOE BARTLETT OR MARYLAND AS FAR BACK AS 2001.

WHAT THEY ARE REFERRING TO IS THE RECOMMENDATION THAT I MADE TO THE PRESIDENT THAT RERELAYED ON TO KARL ROVE.

SO THIS IS RECOGNIZED IN THIS FAIRLY RECENTLY PUBLISHED WHITE PAPER. ALTERNIVE SOURCES OF PURRY POTENT STEM CELLS. -- PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS.

THEY TAKE CELLS FROM AN EMBRYO THAT IS GOING TO DIE, LIKE THE PERSON IS BRAIN DEAD, WHY NOT GET SOME BENEFIT. WE DO THAT WITH ORGAN TRANSPLANTS ALL THE TIME. THE THIRD ONE IS VERY INTERESTING.

THAT IS TO PRODUCE PLURI POTENT STEM CELLS DERIVED FROM BIOLOGICAL ARTIFACTS.

ONE OF THOSE GOES BACK TO THIS LITTLE EMBRYO IN THE PETRI DISH. THEY WANT TO GO IN THE EARLY EMBRYO AND TURN OFF SOME OF THE GENES. SO THAT IT CAN NEVER PRODUCE A BABY.

IT CAN GO ON DIVIDING AND PRODUCING A MASS OF CELLS. THIS IS CALLED AN ARTIFACT.

IF IT IS NOT GOING TO BE A BABY, IT IS JUST A MASS OF CELLS, MAYBE IT IS OK TO TAKE A CELL TO PRODUCE AN EMBRYONIC STEM CELL LINE.

SOME PEOPLE MAY HAVE CONCERN, MR. SPEAKER, THAT YOU HAVE GONE IN EARLY AND MESSED UP WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN A NORMAL BABY.

NOW YOU HAVE CREATED KIND OF A FREAK THAT YOU CAN TAKE SOME CELLS FROM. IF IT IS NOT GOING TO BE A BABY, YOU CAN TAKE THE CELLS.

AT LEAST IT IS A WAY OF GETTING EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS WITHOUT DESTROYING WHAT, AT THAT POINT, IS A STEM CELL. THERE IS A UNION WITHOUT SEX CELLS.

THE FOURTH TECHNIQUE IS INTERESTING, TAKING PLURI POTENT. TAKE A BODY CELL FROM ANYWHERE IN THE BODY, SKIN, MUSCLE, LUNGS AND DIFFERENTIATE IT. TRYING TO PRODUCE A CELL IN AN ENVIRONMENT THAT IS CONFUSED AS TO WHAT IT IS.

IT THINKS AND BEHAVES LIKE AN EMBRYONIC STEM CELL.

IF WE CAN DO THIS, THAT IS GREAT BECAUSE ETHICALLY THERE SHOULDN'T BE ANY PROBLEM WITH DOING THIS. THIS HAS NOT BEEN DONE.

THERE ARE BIG TECHNICAL CHALLENGES TO DOING THIS. 

THIS WHITE PAPER GIVES A VERY GOOD DISCUSSION OF THE PROPOSAL THAT WE MADE. 

THAT IS OF GETTING CELLS VIA BLASTOMERE EXTRACTION.

SOMETIMES CALLED BIOPSY. YOU ARE TAKING A CELL OR TWO. THEY EVEN TALK ABOUT PRODUCING THE REPAIR IT CAN WHICH WOULD BE REALLIED A VAN TAI JOUSE FOR THE -- ADVANTAGEOUS. IF IT NEEDS A NEW LIVER, NEW ISLET OF LANGERHANS CELLS. HOPEFULLY QUESTION PRODUCE THIS FROM A REPAIR IT CAN. 

IT ALMOST LOOKS TO ME LIKE TWO DIFFERENT GROUPS WROTE THE BODY OF THIS TEXT WHERE THEY TALK ABOUT THIS TECHNIQUE AND WHERE THEY MAKE THE RECOMMENDATIONS. 

IN THE RECOMMENDATIONS THEY SAY THE SECOND PROPOSAL, WE FIND THIS PROPOSAL TO BE ETHICALLY UNACCEPTABLE IN HUMANS OWING TO THE REASONS GIVEN IN THE ETHICAL ANALYSIS, WE SHOULD NOT IMPOSE RISKS ON OLIVING EMBRYOS DESTENED TO BECOME CHILDREN FOR THE STAKE OF GETTING STEM CELLS. 

I AGREE. THAT IS NOT THE REASON STEM CELLS ARE TAKEN FROM THIS BABY. CELLS ARE TAKEN WITH NO THOUGHT THEY ARE STEM CELLS TSM CELLS ARE TAKEN BY THE PARENTS TO PRODUCE A REPAIR IT CAN FOR THE BABY. I THINK MOST AMERICANS DON'T HAVE AN ETHICAL PROBLEM, MR. SPEAKER, WITH IN VITRO FERTILIZATION. 

I THINK MOST AMERICANS DON'T HAVE AN ETHICAL PROBLEM WITH DECIDING YOUR BABY IS NOT GOING TO HAVE A GENETIC DEFECT. I DON'T THINK HARDLY ANY AMERICANS COULD EVER HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ESTABLISHING A REPAIR IT CAN FOR YOUR BABY. 

AND WHAT IS ENVISIONED IS THAT AT THE END OF THE DAY THE PARENTS WOULD HAVE MADE AT LEAST TWO ETHICAL DECISIONS, THAT IS, TO HAVE THEIR OWN BABY -- THE ONLY WAY THEY CAN DO IT IS IN VITRO, AND ESTABLISH A REPAIR IT CAN FOR THEIR BABY AND ALL THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO GET ANOTHER STEM CELL LINE IS TO ASK THEM, COULDN'T WE HAVE SURPLUS CELLS FROM THE REPAIR IT CAN YOU HAVE ESTABLISHED. 

THERE'S A BIG DISCUSSION GOING ON IN OUR COUNTRY NOW, MR. SPEAKER, ABOUT EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS. 

THEY VOTED HOW MANY BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN CALIFORNIA TO PURSUE EMBRYONIC STEM CELL RESEARCH BECAUSE A BIG PERCENT OF OUR POPULATION BELIEVES THERE COULD BE MAJOR MEDICAL APPLICATION THERE, WHICH WOULD PROVIDE MIRACULOUS CURES FOR MANY OF OUR DISEASES. 

THEN WE HAVE A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THE PRO-LIFE COMMUNITY, THAT HAVE A BIG PROBLEM WITH TAKING THESE EMBRYOS, ANY ONE OF WHICH COULD BECOME A BABY. 

WE HAD MORE THAN 100 OF THEM CALLED THE SNOW FLAKE BABIES THAT HAVE BEEN ADOPTED AND PLANTED IN THE RECEPTIVE WOMB OF A MOTHER AND HAVE BECOME A BABY.

TO TAKE THIS HUMAN LIFE, AND IT IS A LIFE AND IT IS HUMAN, TO DESTROY IT TO PRODUCE A STEM CELL LINE. NOW, MOST OF THIS DEBATE IGNORES THE FACT, SIMPLY BECAUSE THE DEBATERS DON'T KNOW THAT IT IS POSSIBLE, MR. SPEAKER, TO GET EMBRYONIC STEM CELL LINES WITHOUT HARMING EMBRYOS. I'D LIKE TO GO BACK TO THE SECOND CHART I SHOWED, THE HALF OF THE REPRODUCTIVE TRACT OF A FEMALE SO WE CAN LOOK AT THIS AGAIN TOGETHER SO THAT WE UNDERSTAND CLEARLY WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HERE. 

AND WE'LL IMAGINE NOW THAT THIS IS HAPPENING IN THE LABORATORY AND IT IS IN A PETRI DISH, IN GLASS, IN VITRO IS WHAT WE CALL IT. BECAUSE THE PARENTS COULDN'T HAVE A BABY ANY OH WAY, THEY DECIDED TO HAVE -- IN ANY OTHER WAY, THEY DECIDED TO HAVE IN VITRO FERTILIZATION AND THEY WOULD LIKE TO DO ONE THING, THAT IS ESTABLISH A REPAIR IT CAN FOR THEIR BABY. THEY MIGHT WANT TO DO A PREIMPLANTATION GENETIC DIAGNOSIS.

http://www.explorestemcells.co.uk/newharvestingtechniques.html

SO NOW THE PHYSICIAN IN THE CLINIC WILL WAIT UNTIL THE CELLS DIVIDE AND PRODUCE SEVERAL EMBRYOS. AND BY THE WAY, THEY DON'T ALL PRODUCE GOOD-LOOKING EMBRYOS.

SO THEY FERTILIZE MORE THAN ONE EGG. THEY WILL TAKE THE BEST OF THEM.

GENERALLY MORE THAN ONE OF THEM, ONE OF MY COLLEAGUES, MR. ROHRABACHER OF CALIFORNIA, HIS WIFE HAS THREE BEAUTIFUL BABIES FROM IN VITRO FERTILIZATION. 

I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY THE DOCTOR IMPLANTED, BUT THREE GREW AND SHE HAD TRIPLETS. I SAW A RECENT PICTURE OF THEM IN THEIR LIFE VESTS OUT IN THE SURF IN CALIFORNIA. 

THERE IS A POTENTIAL ETHICAL ARGUMENT EVEN IF WE LET THE PARENTS MAKE THE DECISION WE ARE GOING TO DO THE IN VITRO FERTILIZATION.

IF THE PARENTS ESTABLISH THEY ARE GOING MAKE A REPAIR IT CAN AND ALL WE ASK FOR IS A FEW CELLS FROM THAT REPAIR IT CAN. 

YOU SEE, IF THE CELL IS TAKEN FROM THE EIGHT-CELL STAGE, THEN YOU COULD MAKE THE ARGUMENT THAT MAYBE THE CELL YOU TOOK COULD BECOME ANOTHER EMBRYO. SO THEN YOU START ALL OVER AGAIN WITH THE ETHICAL ARGUMENT. YOU NOW HAVE ANOTHER EMBRYO. 

AND SO YOU NOW, ETHICALLY, SHOULDN'T DESTROY THAT EMBRYO WITH THE HOPE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME APPLICATIONS TO HEALTH CARE FOR SOMEBODY ELSE. THERE IS, MR. SPEAKER, ONE WAY TO AVOID THIS. IT IS ONE OF THE THINGS OUR RESEARCH, H.R. 3144, WOULD PURSUE, THAT IS WAITING A LITTLE LATER TO TAKE THIS CELL. I'M NOT SURE FOR ALL THE REASONS THAT THEY TAKE THE CELL AT THE EIGHT-CELL STAGE, BUT THAT IS THE CONVENTION.

 IF YOU WAITED TO TAKE THAT CELL FROM THE INNER CELL MASS STAGE, WHICH IS A LITTLE LATER, A FEW DAYS LATER, THEN THE DIFFERENTIATION IS HAS ALREADY OCCURRED TO THE POINT THAT THE CELLS IN THE INNER CELL MASS WHICH CAN PRODUCE THE WHOLE BABY, BUT THEY CAN'T PRODUCE A BABY BY IMPLANTATION BECAUSE THEY HAVE LOST THE ABILITY TO PRODUCE DECIDUA. 

SO YOU HAVE NOW REMOVED THAT POSSIBLE ETHICAL ARGUMENT. 

ALTHOUGH THOSE WHO WROTE THE WHITE PAPER ON THE ALTERNATIVE SOURCES OF HUMAN PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS DON'T BELIEVE YOU CAN DO THIS. IF THERE IS ANY POSSIBILITY YOU CAN DO THIS, THOSE WHOSE SENSITIVITIES WOULD BE OFFENDED BY THIS, IF YOU COULD DEMONSTRATE YOU TAKE IT FROM THE INNER CELL MASS STAGE NOW YOU HAVE BYPASSED EVEN THAT. OUR BILL, H.R. 3144, IS A BILL THAT LOOKS, FOR THE MOMENT, ONLY AT ANIMAL EXPERMENTATION. 

WE BELIEVE BEFORE YOU GO TO HUMANS YOU OUGHT TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS GOING TO WORK AND THAT IT HAS WORKED AND THE BEST WAY TO DO THAT IS GO TO ANIMALS AND NONHUMAN PRIMATES, THE BIG APES, WHICH GENETICALLY, BY THE WAY, ARE REMARKABLY CLOSE TO HUMANS. IT MAY BE EMBARRASSING TO LOOK AT THE GENETIC COMPLEMENT OF THE GREAT APES. 

THERE ISN'T ALL THAT MUCH DIFFERENCE. ONCE WE DEMONSTRATE IT THERE WE COULD HAVE MORE CERTAINTY IT IS GOING TO WORK IN HUMANS. 

WHAT WE DON'T NEED, MR. SPEAKER, IS FOR MILLIONS OF AMERICANS FEEL THEIR LAST BEST HOPE FOR A CURE FOR A RELATIVE HAS BEEN REMOVED WHEN THE PRESIDENT VETOS H.R. 810 AND ITS SENATE COMPLEMENT WHICH HE HAS SAID HE WILL DO AND I HOPE HE DOES, IT IS THE ETHICAL THING TO DO. WE NEED HAVE THIS BILL ON THE PRESIDENT'S DESK SO THE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE THERE IS A POTENTIALLY A LOT OF APPLICATIONS IN HEALTH CARE WILL KNOW THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT BELIEVES WITH THEM THAT THIS IS POSSIBLE, THAT WE ARE GOING TO SUPPORT RESPONSIBLE, ETHICAL, RESEARCH. USING CELLS TAKEN FROM EARLY EMBRYOS THAT DO NOT KILL THE EMBRYO, DON'T HARM THE EMBRYO. 

AS A MATTER OF FACT, IF, MR. SPEAKER, WE GET THOSE SURPLUS CELLS FROM THE REPAIR IT CAN, THE PARENTS HAVE MADE TWO DECISIONS WHICH I THINK AND I BELIEVE MOST AMERICANS WILL THINK ARE ETHICAL. 

ONE IS TO HAVE THEIR OWN BABY THE ONLY WAY TO DO IT IS IN VITRO. SECONDLY, TO ESTABLISH A REPAIR IT CAN SO ANY TIME DURING ITS LIFE THEIR CHILD IS GOING TO HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR NEW TISSUES, NEW ORGANS, NEW CELLS. IT IS GOING TO BE THEM SO THERE WILL BE NO REJECTION. 

MR. SPEAKER, WHAT WE SAW LAST NIGHT I HOPE RESULTS IN A VERY POSITIVE EVENTUALITY. 

I HOPE H.R. 810 AND ITS SENATE COMPLEMENT GETS TO THE PRESIDENT'S DESK THAT ALSO ON HIS DESK IS H.R. 3144 SO THAT THE PRESIDENT CAN SAY, TODAY I PROUDLY SIGN A BILL WHICH PROVIDES FOR RESEARCH THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL OF PRODUCING EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS FOR ALL THE MIRACULOUS APPLICATIONS TO HEALTH CARE THAT CITIZENS ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY BELIEVE. BECAUSE IN STATE AFTER STATE NOW THEY ARE VOTING IN REF RENDA, SOMETIMES IN THE LEGISLATURE, SOMETIMES WITH JUST THE PEOPLE TO PROVIDE LARGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY STATEWIDE BECAUSE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS NOT DOING IT AND THEY BELIEVE THERE IS BIG POTENTIAL THERE. I HOPE IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE WE WILL BE USING FEDERAL FUNDS TO SUPPORT RESPONSIBLE, ETH COOL, EMBRYONIC STEM CELL RESEARCH. H.R. 3144 WILL DO IT. 

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. SPEAKER. I YIELD BACK THE BALANCE OF MY

 Voting is beautiful, be beautiful ~ vote.©
