I think we need to ensure that WHO has the resources to do the job that it needs to do and it also has the accountability to be held accountable for actually doing it.

Just quickly, would any of these funds be available for the hospitals that I talked about that had to quickly prepare?

I have been critical of the response, mostly the timeliness of it, and I think it took us way too long to get a coordinator.

I think there needs to be an effort that is concerted, one effort that people understand and has accountability.

Some experts I have talked to on this use the word 'bureaucracy,' that there was a bureaucratic issue here in responding, and more money will not solve that problem. Maybe more accountability will.

I think it could have avoided some of the problems that we have had in this country.

I am introducing legislation today with Mr. Markey, and Senator Markey and I have been working on this for the last several weeks about ensuring that some hospitals on a regional basis have this expertise.

CDC was on the ground with a relatively small number of people relatively early, but it also got out of control.

I like the idea of, while something is pending, having people work if they do not, again, create a danger to others.

Thank you all for being here.

I appreciate your willingness to spend so much of your career focused on this issue of children's health.
