Thank you, Madam Chairman.

I, along with many members of the committee remain concerned with the lack of targeted therapies for rare cancer patients.

Taxpayers continue to face financial uncertainty from the pandemic, as we well know, and this should not be compounded by the Federal Government's inability to return money lawfully owed to them.

none of this $1 billion has been spent, as of last week. Zero. None of it.

I believe greater flexibility on funding might allow States to better target resources.

over the past 14 months the IRS received more than $3 billion in supplemental funding, in addition to what you had, yet the IRS has obligated less than one-third of this funding, and it's actually spent even less.

While there are significant disagreements in Congress on what the proper level of taxing and spending should be, there should be no doubt that taxes legally owed to the government should be paid.

I am concerned that restricting CDC money to specified activities prevents States from being able to address issues that vary from State to State.
