You can't expect one private sector firm to counter the Russian government's effort to influence our elections.

So this isn't just about consumers being disrupted.

Thank you for being here today on this really important topic.

I would look forward to working with all of you on the FDA taking a greater educational role.

In light of this safeness conception, do you think calling these products 'abuse deterrent' is misleading or causing providers to think that these products are less addictive?

I have been talking with my constituents about this, both as Governor and now as Senator for some time, and I think that is very welcome news.

I commend the FDA for putting out its Opioid Action Plan last year, but I want to be very clear that there is still much more work that the FDA needs to do on this issue.

The Trump Care bill, as it now stands, will hurt my constituents. It will hurt our country.

I hear from constituents all the time who, because of the Affordable Care Act for the first time, got access to lifesaving treatment.

We do not want to turn off the technology exactly where it is needed on an urgent basis.

Is there anything more that needs to be done to support drone use for first responders in emergency purposes and restoration efforts for critical infrastructure?

I would never sit here and say that we are done.

One of the greatest promises of drone technology is that it can be a critical tool for first responders.

There is always plenty more to do.

As Governor of New Hampshire, I saw firsthand the value in bringing people together to face challenges head-on.

The administration is looking at huge numbers for infrastructure that is deeply needed out there, and it does have a direct effect on safety.

We do need to work together to get that on the road in ways that people will trust it, especially automated vehicles.

The trucking industry plays a critical role in our national economy, clearly, and also in my home state of New Hampshire.

I believe that there are many actions that have been proposed or called out or mentioned by Administrator Pruitt and others in the Administration that would dramatically slow the ability to address public health and safety concerns.

Well, thank you, and that leads me to a question for the whole panel, a general one...

I am having a hard time understanding the logic of a move like this.

We are going to need to work together at all levels of government to stop it, both addressing the supply as well as the demand side.

Law enforcement has spoken very compellingly about the fact that we cannot arrest our way out of this opioid epidemic, that it is going to take a combination of prevention, treatment, as well as law enforcement.

I am a cosponsor on the STOP Act. My State, as his, has been just devastated by this epidemic, and in particular now, the use and importation of fentanyl.

The suggestion that we would cut $1 billion from aviation security is very concerning.
