Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I am proud of this legislation to reauthorize the Animal Drug User Fee Act, ADUFA, which will continue agreements between the FDA and the animal drug industry to pay user fees that will help speed the approval of new drugs. Farmers, ranchers, families, and veterinarians need ADUFA so they can keep their animals and pets safe and healthy. In the rural and agricultural communities across the country, including my home State of Oklahoma, ADUFA is critical to farmers, ranchers, and all American consumers. These animals are a major food source for our communities and our families, so it is vitally important that we move quickly today and reauthorize ADUFA. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
