First off, if my colleague actually wanted to help American families, he would do whatever he could to get American families jobs. I can't understand why my colleague would object to this bill. When did the Democrats decide that they no longer care about the oversight authority of Congress? My colleague never said that HHS couldn't find American manufacturers for these tests. He didn't go back and check to see if they did. It seems like every one of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle is just another member of the Biden administration focused on covering up for Joe Biden and his appeasement of General Secretary Xi. I am actually trying to support American jobs and American families so they can support themselves. I want to support American manufacturers and the American supply chain. The Biden administration is actively choosing to support the communist Chinese regime and their economy instead. This is what he was elected to do, and this is the last thing American families want to see their tax dollars go for. As stewards of taxpayer dollars, it is our duty to make sure we are doing everything we can to support the American economy, not the communist Chinese economy, especially following the pandemic and during this time of record-high inflation. So I think objecting to this bill is a choice just to appease communist China, and it is dearly disappointing that we couldn't pass this good, commonsense bill today. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Oregon.
