"I firmly believe that the problems we're now seeing with Chinese-made toys and other consumer products is just a symptom of a much larger problem that must be dealt with in a swift and vigorous way."

I think that we ought to do here. Until we are sure that the system has changed and won't produce the same sort of products that we've seen.

If you need more statutory authority--and you've said you'll ask us for that. You should use it like a club.

there is this sense that there's been this huge wave of products flowing into the United States

Do you believe you need the authority to enforce these standards that you've articulated?

Chairman, I want to hear you say, 'These products are not going to enter our stores.'

you're set up, almost, to see the occurrence of problems

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Ms. Greenberg, I hope you'll work with us on statutory authority, that I hope we can put in the appropriations bill and that the authorizing committee will agree with, so we can move that through rapidly, so that…

But isn't it best to say, 'Look, if there is any lead in any of these products, the products don't enter America, period.'

We're going to start shutting all of these down.

But I think we're asking for problems in this.

you do get people manipulating the marketplace

I hope in the appropriations process we can insert some of this language, so that we not only increase the funding for the agency, but we give it the authority necessary to fix the problem.

If you need any additional legislative authority from us to do it, let us know.

Even if it's banning whole sets of products, until we are sure that there is no lead in any of them, period.

Would you like to have people in China--do you think that is important?

And we're going to do everything we can to stop these problems, period.

And that that's what you're going to enforce.
