As educators and legislators, we must not neglect our duties to equip these young people, our children, these students, with the tools and the knowledge to build a successful career.

I really have to commend the FDA on that and realizing the desire and need for new antibiotics and acting quickly to implement the program.

There is nothing more permanent than a temporary federal government program.
