We cannot forget that. We have led the world. America is where hope becomes a reality.

That is why I am passionate about making sure NIH research dollars are spent wisely and accountable.

If I were to support this, I would need more confidence and trust in the oversight and management of the 44 billion in taxpayer funding going to NIH now.

That NIH is on the verge of a trust crisis with this committee and the American people, this is a warning.

This program has been one of my top priorities, and I am disappointed that, if there were concerns, NIH didn't consult with Congress.

What problem does this reorganization solve? We will have the same cross-institute center collaboration and coordination.

Imagine what it would mean if we unlocked the mysteries of the twenty-first chromosome.

For children like Hunter, it would be devastating if price controls were jammed in the majority's reckless tax and spending.

Research will stall under H.R. 3. Other countries have price controls and 'innovation deserts.'

The hope for lifesaving treatments and cures is here, in the United States of America. We cannot forget that.

I support the bipartisan alternative, the Lower Costs, More Cures Act, to reduce drug prices and also protect innovation for cures.

If this partisan bill becomes law, I believe innovation for therapies to treat neurological diseases will come to a full stop.

H.R. 3, Speaker Pelosi's drug pricing bill is NOT the path forward.

We need to say yes and embrace what it--all that can mean to so many individuals.

It is unacceptable. I have told Dr. Collins this directly, when we spoke about ARPA-H.

Republicans are very committed to enacting a Federal privacy framework this Congress.

I am concerned about rumors of the FTC acting outside of Congress and issuing a rule on privacy.

I don't believe that that is the way that is going to lead to the best outcomes.

It seems communication and collaboration are lost in this efficiency.

I don't believe that that is a new era to celebrate.

I appreciate you all sticking with us and believe that this is a very important hearing today.

I implore you to resist the urge to take your focus off consumer protections.

Sadly, the partisan process on 13(b) was also a missed opportunity to enact a national privacy standard--something we desperately need.

This begs the question--if our compromise amendment was considered on the floor, would it have passed? I believe the answer is yes.

Yet I'm concerned we're now prioritizing politics over protecting Americans.
