This all, in spite of the fact that the national security strategy recognized that biological incidents have the potential to cause catastrophic loss of life.

I want to thank you for bringing forward an impressive group of bipartisan measures for the committee to consider.

We are in an ideological contest with China and others who are trying to make the world safe for authoritarianism.

I hope we do not have to adopt the Gambia model here in the United States.

I have been somewhat embarrassed in talking to leaders not only from Africa but around the world.

We ought to be granting asylum, and I yield back.

Mr. Pack's refusal to be here demonstrates to the many who depend upon our communications efforts that at least in that instance our democracy is not working well.

I hope you will look at the specifics.
