I want to raise an issue that is bound to be raised by others here and that we have heard being raised time and time again since we have had the outbreak of the Ebola crisis.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. For the first question, I would like to ask a quick question to Administrator Shaw.
I will close and say that this is a very important and timely resolution. When Chairman Royce and I visited Ukraine a few months ago, we had the good fortune to meet with many Ukrainian officials and people running for President. Mr…

I want to thank you, Mr. Chairman, and Mr. Rush as well for holding the hearing.
I would also like to take a moment to applaud the courage and selflessness of the health workers on the front lines trying to help those afflicted to survive.
I thank the gentleman for yielding to me. My colleagues, there are only bad choices left in Syria and Iraq, but, in my opinion, the worst choice of all would be to do nothing. This is an attempt to do something. I want to commend Chairman…
