Cotton Introduces Bill to Ban to Protect American Agriculture from Biothreats
Washington, D.C. - Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) today introduced the Biothreat Prevention Act, legislation that would ban federal funding for laboratories or research centers that have nationals from China, Russia, Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, or North Korea working on agricultural research.
"Foreign terrorists that seek to poison and destroy America's food supply should not have access to American labs and universities," said Senator Cotton.
