Specifically, the bill would: Reauthorize the C.W. Bill Young Cell Transplantation Program at $33 million annually for five years; Reauthorize the National Cord Blood Inventory at $23 million annually for five years.
Reauthorize the C.W. Bill Young Cell Transplantation Program at $33 million annually for five years and the National Cord Blood Inventory at $23 million annually for five years.
Occurrences
Evidence
The enacted law reauthorized the C.W. Bill Young Cell Transplantation Program and extended funding authority through fiscal years 2016-2020, but it set the authorization at $30,000,000 annually for the program and $23,000,000 annually for the National Cord Blood Inventory.
Assessments
Congress enacted a reauthorization covering the promised five-year span and preserved the National Cord Blood Inventory at the promised $23 million annually, but the C.W. Bill Young Cell Transplantation Program was authorized at $30 million annually rather than the promised $33 million. That is substantial but incomplete delivery of the specific funding promise, so full credit is not warranted.
