I went through a litany in my opening statements of the deficiencies in what FDA committed to and what they missed.

I want to thank you for scheduling this hearing to highlight the need for Congress to consider legislation to encourage Americans to save more for their futures.

There is no Member that has defended the FDA more than this one and there is no Member in Congress that has tried to fix areas when they are broken than this one.

I will write the Secretary and ask him what the criteria is to end the state of emergency.
