June 02, 2004 Kerry said.
“Today, I want to talk about the other grave threat—a terrorist with a biological weapon. Even in the face of this great danger, there are steps we can take to strengthen our biodefense and preparedness to a level that can reduce the threat and prevent a national tragedy. This will take high-level attention, focused strategies and decisive leadership.”
S. 15 (Project BioShield Act of 2003 )
A bill to amend the Public Health Service Act to provide protections and countermeasures against chemical, radiological, or nuclear agents that may be used in a terrorist attack against the United States by giving the National Institutes of Health contracting flexibility, infrastructure improvements, and expediting the scientific peer review process, and streamlining the Food and Drug Administration approval process of countermeasures.
