Lamar Alexander actually said...

"Mr. Chairman, I'd like to ask to place in the record statements from the Tennessee Department of Health, the Tennessee Board of Pharmacy, the Tennessee Hospital Association, the Tennessee Pharmacists ..."

"I want one to say, 'It was my fault, my job, my responsibility,' or the other one saying, 'No, that's my fault.'"

"I'd like to see one of you say, 'It was our job,' just like Dr. Bell said."

"I would say if the FDA had the authority, it should jerk the ability of Massachusetts to deal with these sorts of entities at least until Massachusetts cleaned up its act."
