Mr. Chair, the ranking member highlights that the World Health Organization somehow gives a head nod to sovereignty. It is true that in their most recent public draft they mention sovereignty, but only to the extent that they agree that it is in their interest.

That should be alarming, and it should persuade my colleagues to not vote on party lines, but instead, to unite in support of this good bill. Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
