Madam President, we have all put in a lot of work and benefited greatly by the constructive ideas and efforts of all the Members of this body. I sincerely thank all my colleagues, especially Senator Enzi, for their hard work on this must-pass legislation. This excellent bill is a shining example of what we can achieve when we all work together. Now we must keep our promise to patients and the biomedical industry and pass this critical bill. Today, with one vote, we can reauthorize the essential FDA's user fee agreements, systematically modernize FDA's medical product authority, and help to boost American innovation and ensure that patients have access to the therapies they need. So I urge my colleagues to join in this bipartisan spirit of cooperation and pass this important legislation, the FDA Safety and Innovation Act. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Wyoming.
