John Sarbanes: “Basically Gilead is going to reap the benefit of two periods of exclusivity rather than one, correct?”

It's a national environmental treasure. It's a regional economic engine. It's been one of my top priorities since I've come to Congress.

Without the strong and continued investment the EPA has requested for the Chesapeake Bay Program in fiscal year 2024, the risk is we could jeopardize decades of work in collaboration towards the Bay's restoration.

I hope that today's hearing is the first step in continuing that legacy of strong bipartisan support for the Chesapeake Bay in this Congress.

We would like to thank Rep. Sarbanes for introducing this important piece of bipartisan legislation
