Obama Pushes Congress on Funding Ebola Response 
------------------------------------------------


 
President Obama continues to lobby Congress for approval of a $6 billion
measure to fight the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. Obama spoke Tuesday
after a tour of the National Institutes of Health.

President Obama: "We cannot beat Ebola without more funding. If we want
other countries to keep stepping up, we will have to continue to lead
the way. And that's why I'm calling on Congress to approve our emergency
funding request to fight this disease before they leave for the
holidays. It's a good Christmas present to the American people and to
the world."
