"Last month, I joined with my colleagues Representatives Eshoo and DeGette to call for a hearing on Lifeline."
"Today's hearing will examine ways to improve the integrity of our drug supply chain. The entry of falsified and substandard drugs into our drug supply chain poses a grave public health threat."
"I agree that we need to allow enough time for the technology to evolve and for the system to be put in place."
