Richard Burr

I hope that my colleagues on this Committee will remember this year's flu season, the severity of it.

Thanks to the leadership of Senator Burr, Members of this Committee, and the dedicated team at BARDA...

BARDA's most recent 5-year budget outlined $630 million in pandemic influenza funding needs for Fiscal Year 2019 alone.

Having a program authorized by Congress will provide a clear signal to the private sector that the U.S. Government is committed to preparing against pandemic threats in the future.

Thanks to the leadership of Senator Burr and Senator Casey, and Members of this Committee, and the dedicated team at BARDA, our state-of-the-art vaccine production facility in Holly Springs, North Carolina is one of the best examples of a…

The statute is very clear on BARDA's specific and targeted medical countermeasure mission to ensure that BARDA is staying focused in bringing forward the countermeasures we need to protect the American people from a range of chemical…

Have more to do as it relates to collision but we're developing a clear picture of what happened.

I have been pleased with the bipartisan support this legislation has garnered with a total of 38 co-sponsors, including 9 of my Democrat colleagues.

A rule proposed in 2015 by the EPA raised doubts as to whether amateur racing would continue.

I believe after careful consideration and examination, members of this Committee will come to the same conclusion that this is a simple, yet important, piece of legislation that will provide certainty to amateur racing enthusiasts in each…

The slowest economic recovery from any recession since World War II; an increase in litigation instead of investment; meager job creation; wage growth and more businesses dying than being opened; and a transfer of power--I would argue the…

My bipartisan bill, S. 1857, introduced with Senators Shelby, McCaskill, and Manchin, would extend the deadline for 3 years for the wood heater industry to meet new emissions standards.

Thankfully, the rulemaking was withdrawn as it would have directly attacked the very idea American motor sports was built on.

Senator Wicker's S. 839, the BRICK Act, of which I am a co-sponsor, will similarly extend the compliance deadline on rules relating to emissions from brick manufacturing until that litigation issue is complete.

Let me say from the beginning that this is a bipartisan, common sense approach to something that shouldn't have been a problem.

Senator Burr's S. 203, the RPM Act, which I have also co-sponsored, would clarify that vehicles used solely for competition are not to be treated like the cars that drive on our nation's roads.

The Federal Election Campaign Act prohibits any foreign national from spending funds in connection with any Federal, State, or local elections in the United States.

It's the responsibility of this Committee to work hand-in-hand with our intelligence community to help to keep America safe.

It's sad that we've come to the point where, really, nothing can happen that surprises us.

Our hearts and our prayers go out to the individuals in New York, the families and the friends of those who were affected by a senseless terror act.

I'm pleased to appear before this committee to voice my strong support for and introduce my fellow North Carolinian Dr. Neil Jacobs as the nominee to be Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Environmental Observation and Prediction.

For our trade remedies to be meaningful, it is essential that they be enforced, and the failure to collect these duties harms North Carolina businesses.

We are reaching a smaller number of people to interview and he says it's still his aspirational goal to get this investigation done this year

I would love to buy into FEHBP as a Member of Congress again, wholeheartedly.

Dr. Robert Kadlec is well-prepared for and well-suited to fulfill every aspect of this role.
