Chris Smith actually said...

"I want to announce today the introduction of a bill. We have been working very closely with Chairman Royce on this as well as the ranking member, Karen Bass, called the Ebola Emergency Response Act."

"The bill also encourages U.S. collaboration with other donors to mitigate the risk of economic collapse and civil unrest in the three affected countries."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman, for putting together this very important and timely hearing on the Ebola crisis."

"And special recognition, of course for Representatives Smith and Bass for your extraordinary and consistent leadership in global health for so many years."
