I think it is important for people to realize that this is pro-law enforcement rape kit management.

I want to thank you for so thoroughly and respectfully answering all the questions from the members of this Committee.

I just can't imagine why anyone... would say we want people to sell products where the people being charged have no idea they're being charged for it and don't want it. It's just absurd.

I am really glad that we are moving forward with this Child Nutritional Promotion and School Lunch Protection Act.
