I am excited that our first hearing is on a subject that is of vital importance to rural communities like my State, New Hampshire: satellites.

I would encourage every Member here to convey that to their States as they are going through establishing the process for determining who is going to qualify for broadband funding.

We need to crack down on social media companies, the avenue by which so many teens get access to these deadly drugs.

I think that data collection and surveillance is going to be really important.

As the experts in this room know, a public health approach much be complemented by a well-resourced, data-driven plan to stem the supply of fentanyl.

This bipartisan bill was introduced in the 117th to invest in fentanyl detection and data collection, stem the supply of fentanyl, and address demand for synthetics through overdose prevention and substance use disorder treatments.

A public health approach must be complemented by a well-resourced, data-driven plan to stem the supply of fentanyl.

We must continue to aggressively pursue the sources of fentanyl that have been described here today.

I am cochair of the bipartisan Task Force on Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder with my Republican colleague, Brian Fitzpatrick, and David Trone of Maryland.

I think it was probably the most bipartisan bill in the 117th Congress.

I hope that the Chair will bring that up in a subcommittee on a future date.

No party condones discrimination against people with disabilities.

I can only imagine your heartbreak. And I think about this frequently, as I have a 14-year-old boy.

It is a one-time thing and you can literally die this afternoon.

I urge you to ban the use of QALYs in Federal programs.

I would say to my Republican friends that, as there is a nexus between debt ceiling and cutting Medicare, watch it.

I look forward to hearing from my colleagues on this committee who are interested in a comprehensive approach to protect our companies from fentanyl--our communities.

It is outright discrimination to deny individuals with disabilities access to treatment.
