The best thing that we can do to fight Ebola is to fight Ebola at its source overseas before it gets here.

I am requesting that George Bush Intercontinental Airport be included on the list of airports to receive the enhanced Ebola screening protocols.

Your answer to how you are going to get all hospitals prepared, and, Mr. Wagner, your answer on airports that are not in this scheme of several airports, what are your men and women doing, and where do they take these patients if they find…

I raised the red flag to ensure that there was this kind of screening.

Eighty-five percent say their hospital has not provided education on Ebola with the ability for the nurses to interact.

I do not think that we are practically prepared, and that is why we are having this oversight hearing.

I especially want to thank the men and women of the United States military, particularly from Fort Bliss and Fort Hood that are now on their way or soon to be on their way.

I have made a request to the President, and to the Secretary, and to the Centers for Disease Control.

Cuts to public health preparedness grants from the Departments of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services... hit already struggling State and local health departments hard.

As citizens of the global community, it is our moral obligation to not only eradicate this virus that is devastating West Africa, but also ensure that these countries can continue to function and recover.

I want to thank all these gentleman. I am stepping away for an airplane. I want to give my appreciation and thanks.

I would like to add into the record a letter dated October 8, 2014 officially requesting for the enhanced screening and CDC at Bush Intercontinental.

Pennsylvania respectfully requests EPA and Army Corps of Engineers to withdraw this proposed rulemaking.

I am not confident that the Philadelphia VA has identified the right fix.

It is the blood of my fellow veterans that we are talking about here; the people who pay our salaries; they deserve better!

The Philadelphia VA Regional Office is broken.

I apologize for the inappropriate level of concern by the White House. I am truly disappointed in that.

Do you believe that we need to further incentivize new drug and diagnostic development if we are to appropriately address the issue of antibiotic resistance, and if so, what would you recommend?
