Without Operation Warp Speed, we would not have three safe and effective vaccines that are currently being administered to Americans.

Vaccines are the exact reason we can and should be in person today in the hearing room.

In closing, Madam Speaker, I appreciate my colleagues for working very hard on this bill and all the bills for suicide preservation. Madam Speaker, I urge its passage, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I am prepared to close, and I would just say that these series of bills is so important in dealing with the suicide and prevention, in preventing this tragic epidemic from becoming a pandemic as well. Madam Speaker, I urge the support, and…

What we have talked about is that this creates a safe environment for students. I think all Americans want a safer environment for all of our students and to improve the mental health outcomes of young people. Madam Speaker, that is what…

As with all the other bills before us today, it is so important to reach out to our youth and to prevent suicide and violence as a result of mental health disorders. We all know, as young as we can reach them, the better. I support this…

As we were speaking before, this is an important issue. Suicide affects so many people. There are systems, there is the ability to become aware. It can be preventable if people know the right signs to look for. I think the American people…

For the purpose of closing. Madam Speaker, I really appreciate both the leaders of this bill and the entire House, as we have worked hard together in a bipartisan way over the years for the opioid abuse and other types of abuse and…

If we can't agree on everything, let's at least pass the things that we agree on.

All Americans want lower drug pricing.

The Biden administration must get a better grasp on handling this crisis and the massive influx of UC referrals.

Since President Biden has taken office, there has been a rush of migrants arriving at our southern border.

I am pro-life. I believe in protecting the unborn. I am very concerned with President Biden's comments on removing the Hyde Amendment.

We have seen firsthand how public-private partnerships such as Operation Warp Speed have allowed this country to get vaccinated and reopen months ahead of our peers around the world.

I agree we need to improve public health infrastructure and better prepare for future public health emergencies.

I was alarmed to see the amount of spending that the administration believes we can afford after reviewing the Biden administration's 'skinny budget.'

Let's figure out a way we can fix that without completely eliminating the right to seek redress from the Government.

I remain concerned that the bill currently does nothing to resolve potential First Amendment issues.

If we are going to do the right thing, even when we disagree, let's at least do the constitutional.

I just don't think this bill is constitutional.

Developing therapies will not happen unless we somehow find a way to incentivize our partners in the pharmaceutical industry.

I think it was quoted that 93 percent of the people support negotiating, or essentially lower drug prices.

I challenge my colleagues across the aisle, would you still agree with this statement knowing that one such forfeiture could have been the COVID-19 vaccine?

I believe single-payer healthcare systems are a very dangerous idea.

There are bipartisan solutions to lower drug prices, including H.R. 19, the Lower Costs, More Cures Act.
