Richard Burr: “Thank you for calling this hearing.”

I will continue to ask you for a plan until we get one, and I will continue to be a roadblock for those who believe that we can blindly just appropriate emergency money.

Why did FDA agree, and why did the industry agree to longer review times of 128 days on 510(k)'s and provide the agency with so much more money?

We have the tools, tests, and vaccinations, therefore, there is no longer a public health reason to bar people from entering this country.

Nobody has worked harder on this issue, I think, on the Hill than I have.
