"A Test of Our Character as a Nation": President Obama on What We Need in the Fight Against Ebola | The White House

What We Need in the Fight Against Ebola:

Yesterday, the President visited the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to meet with the team of scientists who have made significant progress in developing an Ebola vaccine.

In his remarks, President Obama asked Congress to approve funding to continue the progress we're making against Ebola.

"That's why I'm calling on Congress to approve our emergency funding request to fight this disease before they leave for the holidays," he said. "It's a good Christmas present to the American people and to the world."
