On the recordDecember 15, 2021
there has been an objection. Let me be very brief. We have a lot to do still tonight. As the new COVID variant surges around the globe and threatens Americans here at home and millions around the world, the United States needs to do everything possible to get shots in arms, including having the right people in Geneva to find solutions to the availability and distribution of vaccines. COVID continues to be a deadly crisis, and we should be working in every way possible to make sure that the Biden team has a group that can reach agreement on a TRIPS waiver and any other trade-based solutions. I look forward to continuing efforts to talk with my colleague from Utah. This is urgent business. We have to get it worked out. I yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Utah.
