Roy Blunt: “So once again, we are not prioritizing. We are saying this is taking us by surprise.”

I think that many of the things that this Committee has done, that you and Senator Klobuchar have done personally, and that Congress has done for the United States Capitol Police has sent a pretty strong message that people do care about…

I have been Chairman twice--let's see, I was Chairman, then Senator Shelby was Chairman, then I was Chairman again.

Senator Blunt's longstanding promise of expanding the reach and resources of the Nation's Registry has saved thousands of lives.

Please continue this commitment and provide timely investments public health and research programs at the CDC and in the NIH.
