I want to ask you about a specific provision of the discussion draft that allows the FDA to include requirements for the packaging of a drug to help protect children from harm, such as through unit-dose packaging or other requirements.

What this would do is give the FDA new tools to protect consumers.

Thank you very much, and thank you for all of your efforts and your agency's efforts.

Congress created the 340B drug discount program 25 years ago to help safety net providers leverage their scarce resources to serve more people, especially people in low-income and vulnerable areas.

I support the intent of the program, but I do believe that more transparency and accountability is required.

The 340B program is needed now more than ever.

Thanks to this program, providers across the country have been able to purchase discounted pharmaceuticals and expand and improve their services.

But we also can stipulate that we need to make sure that our oversight remains robust.

I think we can stipulate that 340B is critical to provide critical medical services to low-income people.

The country's vital infrastructure is under attack by actors with malicious intent.

Cyberattacks in this sector are unfortunately not a new problem.

What we really worry about is that cybersecurity attacks they're going to come throughout all the government.

the WannaCry cyberattack was really a wake-up call.

I am the co-chair of the Diabetes Caucus in Congress so that kind of worries me about the insulin pumps.

Every day, our infrastructure is under attack by those with malicious intent.

But what the President seems to do is he sort of seems to do this with a meat axe.

So, how are we going to drop two if we are enacting one?

First of all, I would like to add my thanks, Dr. Shuren, for the approval of the artificial pancreas, on behalf of the Diabetes Caucus, but also on behalf of my family because, as you know, my daughter is a type 1 diabetic and will be one…

A couple of weeks ago, he said he wants to cut up to 75 to 80 percent of all FDA regulations.
