Chairman Collins, thank you very much for calling this hearing and for your opening statement.
After all this time, Madam Chair, chit-chatting is so yesterday, isn't it?
I am, of course, showing deference to Pennsylvania.
Madam Chair, thanks very much.
We cannot emphasize enough the timeliness of raising public awareness on this hidden issue.
If confirmed, I will be committed to implementing the TCA, as intended by Congress, including Section 911 related to modified risk products.
I would hope that means that you would advocate against proposals with regard to a hiring freeze or the budget.
I support following the directive of Congress in making sure your laws are faithfully implemented.
I wanted to move as well--I know I have a little more than a minute, and I might defer most of this for a written question.
I wanted to focus on biosecurity. We've seen just in the last couple of years, whether it's Ebola or Zika or any other threat, how important...
I know you may not on some days feel like you are overcoming something, you are not winning. But in so many ways you are.
