Even Minority Leader McCarthy today said we need at least $4 billion.

If we gave you more money, could we develop a vaccine more quickly?

There needs to be someone who can overrule Homeland Security and State.

I think it should be you.

If we have an outbreak in the United States, there are a number of other agencies that are going to have other interests.

I was pleased that all of you admitted under oath that nicotine is addictive.

The priorities that the public wants to see are continuing to be frustrating because there is an inside game.

If the number of youth vaping doesn't go down, despite all of this, with the effort you have taken already, would you stop marketing your e-cigarettes until we figure out how to solve this epidemic?

I was extremely dismayed when I asked you about the health problems with nicotine, that you all were extremely vague in your answers.

We need to work with the Customs and Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agencies.

Last September, President Trump promised to take action to take all of the non-tobacco-flavored products from the marketplace in response to the youth vaping epidemic. But he didn't.

Nicotine is addictive and tobacco products can cause harm.

Nicotine is addictive and... it can cause harm.

Any product containing nicotine is addictive.

Nicotine is addictive.

I don't think there is anybody on this Committee that thinks marijuana should be legalized for people under 21.

We also need a full investigation into counterfeit and black-market products that are likely to fill the void of the products that are expected to exit the market.

I look forward to bringing my bill, the Reversing the Youth Tobacco Epidemic Act, to the floor soon.

It is long past time that the Food and Drug Administration move forward with reviewing the health and safety risks of the e-cigarette products that are currently on the market.

That is why Congress decided to act.

E-cigarette manufacturers have been negligent, at best, or intentional, at worst, in attracting young people to their products.

No state has a higher percentage of its teens currently vaping than my state of Colorado.

People are confused when it comes to the health and safety of e-cigarettes.

There has been woefully inadequate research.

Don't be fooled-a so-called flavor ban that exempts menthol and vape shops is not a ban at all.
