I feel a little bit uncomfortable, because the little nations, I mean, people say, well, who cares...

I resist the notion that the little ones are going to be very grateful to us for being so thorough and fair and concerned.

I refer my colleague, the floor leader on the other side to section 9 of the bill. We have just looked at it. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Barragan).

I think today's hearing is the beginning of an examination and, for some people a reexamination, of antitrust laws, American antitrust laws.

I am pleased to yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Deutch), a distinguished member of the Judiciary Committee.

Most prescription drugs save lives. Yet, it's also a fact that some result in injury and death.

And as Representative Conyers mentioned in his opening remarks, and Ranking Member Cohen, the First Amendment protects those ads.

All of us, public officials, community leaders, and parents, have a special duty to do all we can to provide every opportunity for our children...

the statutes that protect our privacy and regulate government access to our communications were written decades ago

One of the most effective steps we can take in responding to abusive patent litigation is making sure poor quality patents are not issued to begin with.
