I want to thank you for being here today to talk about these critically important EPA programs.

I couldn't agree more that the TRI database is an essential tool especially for communities' right to know when there is a chemical release.

This is a serious safety concern. This is not just an annoyance.

I think that there should be a letter circulated to all members of this subcommittee, signed by everyone on a bipartisan basis.

do we have an inventory of who the manufacturers are?

I think we have some problems with the administration, because the professionals say one thing and then there is confusion on the other side.

These cuts are really shameful. They really are.

I think, Secretary Azar, the $200 million in cuts at BARDA, $700 million in cuts at CDC, and $3 billion out of NIH, are you willing to reconsider that, given what our country is facing and what the American people need day-in and day-out…

I hope, as we move through this challenge, that the American people will come to know you the way we do...

Confusion is the enemy of preparedness.

Our government, across the government, has to speak with credibility and authority.

The virus triggers fear and I think the antidote for this is truth and transparency.

Let me ask you this. If the coronavirus outbreak is continuing three months from now--and I pray that it isn't--what do you estimate the American drug supply will be?

Instead of taking this situation seriously, the President has sent Congress a coronavirus funding request that is inadequate for this emergency.

The President's budget weakens our public health safety net, hurting our country's resiliency.

the whole issue of our dependence on China and that 90 percent of the American people take generics

I started out earlier today saying that confusion is the enemy of preparedness.

H.R. 3 caps out-of-pocket, as you know, prescription costs for seniors.

Thank you. God bless you and your work on behalf of the American people.

Nearly 50 years ago, the Supreme Court of the United States affirmed the right of every woman to make decisions about her own life, her body, and her future.

Ninety-nine years for a doctor. I mean, it is--that is enough to take anyone's breath away.

the judgment of a viability should be made by a physician--by a physician, not a politician

So it's based on zip code. It defies what the Supreme Court decided, and if you live in any of these states and you're a woman, politicians are going to make the decision.
