At the epicenter of the initial coronavirus outbreak in the U.S., State and local officials in my State of New York and in my district on Long Island were also the first to deal with the issue of price gouging.

I actually think that's gone pretty well, and, as they've gotten more visibility, they've given it to us.

In fact, GAO has repeatedly noted that coordination and communication are critical to the successful implementation of COVID-19 vaccines.

Much of the confusion surrounding the rollout of COVID-19 vaccine seems to be driven--and I'm hearing this throughout this hearing--by poor communication.

I think that you are in a high enough position to be able to give me that answer now.

I think it would be a good idea to continue this conversation in a secure location.

The decision by CBP to admit to the United States a foreign national who happens to be an ally of the President provides an interesting counterpoint to the administration's efforts to intentionally disadvantage U.S. citizens residing in…

This is a report that every single Member of Congress needs to digest.

If we can't protect our elections, I mean, that will doom our democracy, I think, quicker than anything else.

I think Chris Krebs and the men and women at CISA are doing a terrific job, and working very hard with State and local election officials.

If we do not implement every single recommendation in this report, shame on us, as a Government.

We have significant physician shortages now, and it is only going to get worse in the coming years.

I was happy to hear Dr. Green talk about how important it is to invest in our health care system.
