I thank each one of you for your testimony here today.

I want to publicly thank him again for that extraordinary leadership.

We are asking for $7 billion here, and diagnostics--that that component of it is a very minute component of that.

That doesn't make logistical sense.

We must hold the Chinese government accountable for its actions.

So we are not going to limit competition, and we are not going to narrow what people can get.

Do I have your assurances here today that we are not going to do it?

I think today highlights really in a bipartisan way the need for full disclosure to the OIGs...

What would be the great enforcement mechanism, that if they don't give you 100 percent of the documents that they get their budget cut by 10 percent?
