Subject: Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Act Reauthorization

Dear Representatives Hudson and Eshoo:

On behalf of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) and the Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS), we would like to thank you for the opportunity to provide comments and suggestions as you prepare to develop legislation to reauthorize the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Act (PAHPA). This bipartisan legislation provides critical support for our nation’s emergency preparedness and response capabilities. Reauthorizing PAHPA’s essential health programs will continue to foster opportunities for these ongoing successful public-private collaborations. The AANS and the CNS urge you to include the following programs in the PAHPA reauthorization legislation.
