The Center for Global Health Policy's "Science Speaks" blog "continu[es] to look at changes in Washington's global health leadership in the wake of November's election," writing, "While Sen. Dick Durbin [D-Ill.], who played a pivotal role in PEPFAR's creation, leaves the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, two new Democratic members, as announced Wednesday, will join the committee which directs foreign aid."
