Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

You don't want to set up an incentive program, in my opinion, that drives developers toward the broadest market.

No one is served by adding controversial proposals to the bill. That would only serve to slow the process.

I am pleased with the progress that we have made on this user fee package thus far.

I believe that Congress ought to define the problem that you are trying to address.

I think this legislation should be narrowly targeted and only apply to antibiotics approved for serious or life-threatening diseases.

if you feel you need stronger or clearer legislation in that area, let us know because we are concerned about whatever, even a handful of devices that may be harmful.

The people on the ground are the ones who are meeting my constituents, are the ones who are bringing the issues to me, are the ones with the face of my office.

What is so outrageous about this is how these bad actors, very bad actors, perhaps criminal actors, have sullied the reputation of so many people.

Let the record be clear: there isn't one Senator or no Member of Congress who is trying to do anything other than get to the bottom of this.

The days of being unaccountable at GSA are over.

I don't want to just dwell on the conferences. Because if there are people who are cheaters, and there are people who are bad actors, they are going to figure out another way to steal.

As Senator Inhofe said, you are the good guys in all of this, and Susan is a good gal, Susan Brita, who came forward, as a political appointee, to blow the whistle.

Now we have this camaraderie based on not personalities or power, but doing the right thing.

I think that was a huge mistake. And if it wasn't for Ms. Brita, we might not even be here.

This is decades long.

But I think that these regions have gone wild. This region went wild on you. They went rogue.

We demand that those individuals, we must demand that those individuals be held accountable for their actions.
