But here is the problem, Mr. Griffith, and this is what Commissioner Hamburg is trying to say.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. And I do appreciate your taking the time to have this hearing on the very day that we return from the recess because this is such an important public health issue, and we are acting in a bipartisan way.

And if we can't prevent this kind of a thing, then shame on us, because this is a company that had black specks floating in the vials.

I think we ought to put our partisanship aside. The election is over. Figure out a clear law for the Federal Government to be able to act because, because with all due respect, this is not a State issue if a drug is being shipped around in…

So what has happened over all of these years is these drug compounders have started these great big manufacturing facilities.

there is a lack of clarity in the law and what that means is that evil-doers like this compounding pharmacy, don't feel like they have to listen to the FDA.

Joyce Lovelace's husband Eddie was the first one who was found to have died of fungal meningitis from one of your company's products.

I have enjoyed serving as ranking member with you, Mr. Chairman.

We have always had respectful discourse, and we have always had debates and investigations that have attempted to shed the light on things.

I know I can speak for the entire side of my aisle in wishing you God speed and all success in whatever you decide to do in the future, Mr. Chairman.

I really want to thank you for having this hearing today on LightSquared and expanding access to broadband, which we all agree is a key driver of economic growth for our Nation.

Less oversight is not the solution here.

We need multiple layers of strong oversight at our nuclear facilities.

I want to echo the chairman's remarks about this subcommittee having a long bipartisan history of asking tough questions about the safety and security of our Nation's nuclear facilities.

We cannot leave nuclear facilities exposed to national disasters or threats from hostile enemies.

We have to make sure that those who manage nuclear materials are putting safety and security first.

It would curtail the Secretary's authority to... reduce the safety and security requirements.

Strong oversight of our nuclear arsenal and our nuclear facilities and laboratories is an absolute necessity.

We cannot remove or repeal the protections that already are in place.

H.R. 4310 also changes NNSA's relationship with oversight bodies, including DOE's Office of Health, Safety, and Security.

Good oversight results in good legislation.

We don't apparently have a document notebook for this hearing, and I would just request that Mr. Scalise place the documents he is referring to...

I actually think it's a good idea, so long as we come up with clear requirements on the due diligence.

due diligence is important to you, and I think you said in your testimony improving due diligence is important in the wake of this Clean Green case, correct?

Do you think they should be conducting due diligence, yes or no?
