It is very important to have experts in these jobs and continue to try to learn and grow in that tenure.

Just appreciate everybody's testimony. And I think the chairman and I have--I think, are very committed to the issue of transparency.

In my opinion, this hearing is going to be one of the most important we will have this year in this committee.

How can we expect others to follow our example if we are not willing to fully acknowledge the problem and take concrete steps to address it.

No person should show up to work in the Halls of Congress, their government, and be forced to worry that it will be a toxic work environment.

You demonstrate that you hold yourselves to a higher standard as the elected leaders of our Nation.

I just got motivated to get reelected a couple more times to make sure I am here for all that.

I am not talking about a blanket waiver of confidentiality, I am talking about very limited so you can tell my boss that we can fix this problem.

Today, with the ongoing war on facts, science, and expertise, your job is even that much more important.

You know, I am not trying to be a jerk, but I am just saying, you know, how are we, in 2018 in the United States of America, and we can't figure out how much savings we can garner from making sure that people have preventative healthcare.

So I just want to say thank you to you. And I know your team is at work all the time doing this, and we really appreciate you.
