Jeff Merkley actually said...

So, Mr. Taylor, you mentioned the foreign inspections, and FSMA mandated 600 inspections in 2011, with a doubling of the previous year's inspection level for the subsequent 5 years, which would mean that in fiscal year 2015, we would have about 19,000 foreign inspections. And in fact, I believe that the Department plans to only conduct about 1,200.
