Thank you very much, Chairwoman Chu, and thank you for being with us tonight, but also for your consistently sounding the alarm to all of us about the necessity for culturally and linguistically appropriate services, testing, contact tracing, as well as the importance of disaggregating the data based on race and ethnicity. Thank you for input into helping to write this bill. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from Illinois (Ms. Kelly), who is the chair of the Congressional Black Caucus' Health Braintrust, someone who is a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee and also a member of the Oversight and Reform Subcommittee on National Security and Subcommittee on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties. Congresswoman Robin Kelly has helped put together this bill and helped make sure that we put provisions in for data collection and all of the information that we know we need to be able to target these resources. So thank you, Congresswoman Robin Kelly, for being here tonight and for helping us.
