Drug importation, we are very happy that you are proceeding on that...

I hope we can move forward on this just so that we give integrity to whatever the label is.

I just want to strongly endorse this bipartisan legislation that would try to start addressing this abuse on pricing powered by pharma.

I am really concerned about what I regard as the significant abuse of the bill.

You want to check with somebody now, use your phone? Tell us what Johnson & Johnson's position is on whether this is an abuse of the orphan drug status?

all we are asking the FDA to do in this bill, Madam Chair, is to enforce the labeling rules that already exist and they may need a nudge with legislation saying that we need them to do their job.

I want to talk about the orphan drug bill in particular.

I am asking a simple, straightforward question and you are telling me you will get back to me.

That is certainly as I see it.

a label is a label. And as Scott Gottlieb said when he was still in that position, if it is not lactation, then a nut, a seed, these other products that can be good, do not meet the definition of a dairy product.

I do strongly support 4712, H.R. 4712, because it would take steps to begin to close loopholes.

the policy that we've had... has been nation building in Afghanistan total, total and complete failure, pipe dream, wishful thinking.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. The President's policy towards Iran is to tear up diplomacy and embrace so-called maximum pressure. The most recent strike, far from making us safer, is making us more insecure. Think about the…

The gun is cocked and loaded. We cannot go to war without Congress being involved in the debate and the President telling us what his policy is going to be.

We, the people, have a common tie that binds us together now as it has since the founding of our country, and it is our shared respect for the Constitution of the United States. Let us all step back from the maelstrom of the moment to…

Today, the House is going to have an opportunity to do something that has long-needed to be done and will benefit every single American in every single business that is providing health insurance for their valued employees. We have a…

On November 20, 2019, only 3 weeks ago, Vermont lost a great Vermonter and an inspiring American, Jake Burton Carpenter, the person who started Burton Snowboards, the person who actually created the whole sport of boarding. Jake was a…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. We have done in our committee some bipartisan work that attacks patent abuse and will help bring down the costs of drugs, but there is a question. It is not a partisan question. It is really a judgment…

This subcommittee will not rest until it has answers to these questions. It's what the American people and public health deserve.

There is real opportunity here with the shared sense of purpose that both Republicans and Democrats have to try to get broadband out to rural America.

If we don't have a fund, it is going to be very difficult for us to actually deliver for rural America.

Why don't we just get rid of 25/3 and not pretend that it is even close to being adequate?

We have got to establish a standard, and I just ask for some comments from you.

the president in fact was asking a foreign leader to do an investigation on a political opponent.

Now could have a mayor of a city withhold funding for the police department budget unless the police chief agreed to open up an information investigation on a political rival? Mr. Morrison?
