After the pandemic, I dare say we have a very robust consensus on the need to support the social and emotional and mental health of our children.

We have to make it affordable.

We cannot let the childcare industry be destroyed.

I think we all want to express our deep gratitude to the 24 witnesses testifying today and to all of those who sent written testimonies for the record.

That is why I am proud that we were able to include an increase of $87 million for the Capitol Police in the fiscal year 2022 government funding package.

Thank you very much, Chairman Ryan and Ranking Member Herrera Beutler. This is an incredibly important hearing.

It has been just a little over a year since a mob of violent insurrectionists stormed the Capitol.

We need to let you know and our law enforcement agencies around the Nation that we are here to fund the police.

The Capitol Police continue to be called upon to protect the Congress, not only here in D.C. but also in our districts.

Thank you for the great work that has been done since January 6 and the kind of rigor on the assessments.

You can't hide behind an investigation. We need answers and we need them now.

We need to get to the bottom of the disgraceful lack of oversight and a terrible safety issue from an Abbott Nutrition manufacturing plant.

We need FDA to work directly with Florida citrus growers and processors to find a solution.

That says it all, Dr. Califf. It says it all.

Your problems are structural. You have serious structural leadership issues.

We cannot be forced to make a false choice between safety and supply.

We need to get to the bottom of this terrible tragedy to prevent anything like this from ever happening again.

I sounded the alarm on this crisis and have been working on this issue since news of the recall growth in February.

I want them to know that they do not have to play a guessing game.

We are dealing with an infant formula emergency in this Nation, a crisis of both safety and supply.

I remain concerned about the safety of the formulas that end up on our shelves.

They knowingly put a contaminated product on the market. That is plain wrong.

parents should not have to choose between the supply of products and food safety.

What the FDA needs to do is to understand that they are a regulatory agency and what that entails.

Our job is, through the FDA, is to be able to make sure that those who do produce it are held to a standard.
