I applaud Senators Lamar Alexander and Michael Bennet for working together on revising and simplifying the format of the FAFSA.

I appreciate Senators Lamar Alexander and Michael Bennet working together on a revised and simplified format for the FAFSA.

As I wrote in a letter to you a couple of weeks ago, as always, we need to balance both innovation and safety.

Senator Hatch and I reintroduced the Med Tech Act yesterday to ensure that lower-risk medical software and mobile apps are not regulated by the FDA.

If there is legislative work that needs to be done around this, I hope you'll let the committee know.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

I just want to make one observation. When I first got here 6 years ago, I used to say that it was nobody's day job in Washington to figure out how we are going to keep a thriving bioscience industry here in the United States.

What explains that delta between what we thought was going to happen and what actually has happened?

What are the pitfalls? What are the limitations, but also the successes?

I want to thank you for working with us on that bill.

I hope the fact that it is now in the record means he will receive an answer to that letter.
