May 21, 2008

THE PRESIDENT: I want to thank the members of Congress who've joined us as I sign the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act，越南文翻譯, a piece of legislation which prohibits health insurers and employers from discriminating on the basis of genetic . In other words, it protects our citizens from having genetic misused, and this bill does so without undermining the basic premise of the insurance industry.

I also want to pay homage today to -- and not only to members of the Congress who are behind me, but also to Senator Ted Kennedy, who has worked for over a decade to get this piece of legislation to a President's desk. All of us are so pleased that Senator Kennedy has gone home，英文翻譯, and our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.

Now it's my honor to sign the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act，韓文翻譯.

(The Act was signed.)

Thank you. (Applause.)
