Susan Collins: “Clearly, Congress must take action to increase and strengthen the nation's supply of flu vaccine.”

Senator Collins asked the OMB to withdraw parts of the rule that would unduly burden scientific and biomedical research and small communities.

I was pleased that the bill prevents the OMB from implementing its proposed rule, which would politicize grants and harm small, rural communities, families, and biomedical research.

But to be fair to the Department of Homeland Security, they couldn’t enter into contracts when the government was shut down by the Democrats.
