As I said, we are going to have to make very difficult choices. We are not going to be able to do all the things the Congress has asked us to do and that the American people expect us to do.
We need these additional resources now to actually go from what is being spelled out in a set of, I think, very thoughtful and responsible regs that have been developed, and actually seeing the difference on the ground.
Congress has been beneficial in our ability to respond in a number of ways, certainly the supplemental funds that were given for Ebola will make a significant difference.
We feel there are significant gaps in our authorities that limit and undermine our ability to do all that we want to do to protect the health and safety of the American people.
