Richard Burr actually said...

"If there is any group in Congress that gets this problem and knows how to get it done, it is the HELP Committee."

"I believe that reauthorization is absolutely essential. I think we can do it better than we did it before."

"It is essential that someone be in charge, as Senator Burr has said."

"The Pandemic and All Hazard Preparedness Act answered the critical question of who is in charge through the creation of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response."
