I thank her for her support.

Remember, all of us, should consider vaccination to not only protect ourselves from getting sick, but also our children, grandparents, co-workers, and neighbors.

For seniors in Southwestern Pennsylvania and across the country, hospitalization rates and deaths have increased sharply.

This year's flu season came a little earlier than expected and it looks as though it will have been worse than average.

I thank the gentlelady for yielding back. We have covered all of the members here.

I have got to tell you. A few years ago when I joined the Navy, I did it to try and help a lot of our wounded soldiers when they were coming back and coming in the hospital.

And we have some people dead here and I do not hear anybody saying, you know what, this was wrong.

It almost sounds like in some ways it is people washing their hands and saying, you know what, I did not set the standards, there are no national standards.

And one of my concerns also is here you have some cases showing up and the medical staff was not notified.

I believe Director Wolf is genuinely concerned about the well-being of the patients and staff.

I think it causes about 50,000 lives a year and maybe $100 billion or so.

Mr. Chairman, I hope that someone could answer this question because it is critical because I understand a lot of that data had been destroyed.

At least five people died. One other thing I wanted to point out here, when people are saying that there was some testing done, what I have here is some information that says that is not true.

Did you test all the systems?

Can I just ask something?

Is that going to happen?

I do not hear anybody saying, you know what, this was wrong.

Thirty percent is some number that people pulled out, but one percent could be enough.

This is a serious problem.

I have the highest respect for you and the VA. And you have received national awards in the Veterans Administration for your work to stop hospital acquired infections.

I have no more speakers on this bill, and I'm prepared to close if the gentleman from North Carolina is prepared to close, as well.

What concerns me here and the reason why we need to even look at this law is, Department of Energy is still not admitting problems

Families in this country have been funding OPEC to the tune of a $127 billion trade deficit
