"I believe that Americans deserve the confidence that the drugs they rely on will help them get better and not make them more sick."

"The drug and device user fee programs ensure that FDA gets critical dollars to allow the agency to complete its premarket review in a timely manner."

"It would be irresponsible to allow this legislation to become a vehicle for the wish lists of members seeking to move their own controversial bills."

"We must reauthorize and establish these essential programs in a timely way so that FDA can do its job protecting the health and safety of American patients."
