Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. Congratulations to both of you.

I don't agree with everything that's in it and everything that came out, but, literally, we can't afford to wait any longer to get something passed.

And back to the salmonella issue, how much do you think this is going on in food processing plants and in different plants across the country where salmonella is found?

I believe it is shameful that a death like this could happen in America.

If I found out my 13-year-old daughter, who, by the way, loves peanuts, loves peanut butter, if she was eating metal in her peanuts, I would expect the government to do something about this.

So we have a situation where plants can have repeated salmonella outbreaks, or salmonella discoveries. They are not required to tell you.

I am glad that the Department of Justice has opened a criminal investigation.

So you have to have this shipping, which obviously creates a much more hazardous possibility, before you can even find out.

So Georgia went, but you guys didn't really know they were going?

On Monday, I sent a letter to President Obama urging him to nominate a new permanent FDA Commissioner as soon as possible.

I admire the hard work of our Health Department, but all of this happened because of a failure, the failure of our government to prevent unsafe food from entering the food chain.
