Organ Transplant Program (Executive Session)
The Senate held an executive session item on the organ transplant program. Senator Grassley, speaking in bipartisan terms, said he has worked on organ donation reform for two decades and cited cases of patients, including the roughly 2,000 children currently waiting for transplants, who he said have died because the system is not serving them. He said that, years after Congress passed legislation to correct problems in the transplant system, he asked government investigators to study how organ transplants for children could be improved, and he called for using the findings of that review to make changes.
