I have never understood why the system is the way it is because it establishes huge tensions immediately.

the FDA, in terms of its role, a key role is to ensure safety and efficacy of drugs and devices.

I want my tests to be accurate. I want my tests to be accurate, and I think every single one of us do too.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I appreciate the legislative courtesy.

I just asked unanimous consent to produce a statement into the record today.

If we want to promote the development of personalized medicine, which I think we all recognize is the future of medicine and the foundation of 21st Century Cures, then we need to ensure that highly complicated and potentially…

If it is going to take 9 years to understand something, I don't think that sends the right signal, honestly.

these tests are really central in all of our lives, and I think that, speaking for myself, the older I get, I can't wait for the results of the tests to come back to know that everything is all right, but we depend on accuracy.

3670, the Anti-Spoofing Act of 2013, is a bipartisan bill, and it is aimed at reducing the number of fraudulent phone calls and text messages received by millions of Americans.

The Federal Government shouldn't be instructing doctors how to write something.

I helped write the legislation on it, so it is nice to hear.

The ability for these two industries, high technology and health care, to mature side by side has really yielded, I think, unparalleled advancements for patients.

I think that for the most part now is private sector though, because there were initial grants or whatever to get the electronic records going.

Bravo. I think every single one of you have been terrific witnesses.

I thank the distinguished ranking member of the Judiciary Committee and my friend for yielding this time to me. Madam Speaker, I rise in strong support today of this legislation, the Permanent Internet Tax Freedom Act. This is a bill that…

I believe that one of the most important manifestations of a vibrant democracy is that there are many voices speaking to the many.

What is the prime reason? Is it for a better business model for someone, or is this in the name of democracy, localism, diversity, competition?

So if we consolidate more, are minorities in our country going to progress? No one addressed that.

I want to hear diversity of thinking, and I would suggest that there is a lot of junk out there too.

Our goal... should be to promote localism, advance competition, and encourage diversity, not to roll back what few protections we have.

I don't think it really feeds democracy simply to consolidate because that is someone's business plan.

I think one of the most important principles relative to a democracy.
