Rep. Scott Garrett and Senator David Vitter to Demand that Congress Reconvene to Address Ebola
Oct 17, 2014

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Scott Garrett (R-NJ) and Senator David Vitter (R-LA) today sent a letter to House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid demanding that congress is immediately reconvened to address the threat raised by the Ebola virus.

“The Obama administration has failed to recognize this public health threat,” said Garrett and Vitter in the letter.  “Thus far, the administration has refused to implement flight restrictions from affected countries, and provide effective screening process for travelers after they arrive on shores.  The House and Senate must reconvene to direct the administration on what steps must be taken to protect the American people.”

Mr. Garrett has been a vocal critic of the Obama administration’s slow response to this epidemic. He joined his colleagues in calling on the president to institute immediate travel restrictions, enhance airport screenings, and develop quarantine measures for individuals who have traveled to, or from, the West African countries that have been impacted by Ebola.

Garrett’s opponent Roy Cho and NJ Sen Cory Booker are lock step with the presidents so far failed policies and are offering no new ideas .
