House approves cancer research stamp funding bill
The House passed a bill to fund breast cancer research with proceeds from a special stamp priced up to 125 percent of the 32 cent first class rate. If enacted, the stamp would raise about 33 to 40 cents per stamp, with roughly 70 percent to NIH and the rest to DoD research. The vote was 422 to 3. Senators previously approved a similar measure.
