Greg Walden: “It is critical to our national security, but also to our competitiveness as we start rolling out new technologies.”

I thank my friend and colleague from Illinois for her support of this legislation and her work on it. Once again, I urge passage of the legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time.

We need to make sure it is getting to the right places.

I want to make sure that it is a responsible way for all parties, which is why a number of us are very concerned about the administration's recent support of the waiver to release and transfer the IP for the vaccine.

I have no other speakers on my side of the aisle. It is good legislation, bipartisan. It should become law. I urge its passage, and I yield back the balance of my time.
