I want to understand the full intent of the amendment, because when the FDA Commissioner came before our subcommittee and I asked the question about drugs from other countries, she said that they could not give certainty that they were of equal quality.

Economic development should strengthen our communities, not drain their resources, and put added burdens on our people.
I feel that I have to let people know I’ll protect their children, and … I do believe the responsibility is with the parents, with the schools, and with the leagues, especially after 18.
I have supported human rights for everyone, I have a good record. But on that particular issue, the people who should be giving us guidelines have no guidelines.
