I wanted to applaud your Administration and your efforts with regard to repealing the WOTUS rule, the erroneous, burdensome WOTUS rule.

We would like to work with you on this effort.

As members of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health, and Human Services and Education, we have worked in a bipartisan fashion to support critical programs and initiatives to improve the lives of both mom and baby.

This was a critical first step but this is just a first step. More work needs to be done.

Our communities also face growing shortages of maternity care providers.

We believe it's time to make these issues a national priority.

We co-founded the bipartisan congressional caucus on maternity care to raise awareness about the status of childbirth in this country and the challenges facing America's maternity care system.

One of the things we have seen in our hearing from different areas, I hear it from disease groups, is that the piece that goes into children's--treating children's diseases or research on childhood cancer, for example, tends to lag behind…

No teen use of marijuana is legal anywhere, right? There is no regulated market for marijuana use for teenagers recreationally.

I was asked to cosponsor, which I will be, a childhood cancer bill with regard to research.

This is the pool of kids I am most worried about, and yes, I am worried about adults who want to get off of smoking.

The majority here in the House, which would be the Democratic party, has the authority to put forward a new budget.

I am good, Mr. Chairman.

I appreciate your willingness very much.

Thank you so much for heeding that call and your leadership.

Your commitment is helping to remove those barriers to people for living organ donation.

The one thing I have learned is that it is just so different for kids, the way everything is applied to them and in their world, and it changes over time.

I think about some of my different schools--small, rural, more urban, increasingly suburban. The solutions might look a little different.

I applaud the Administration's efforts with regard to drug pricing.

This is no respecter of person, so to speak.

I think they are able to really tailor to regions and communities more specifically than a one-size-fits-all that is a big national stamp.

What a novel concept.

I appreciate your willingness to rock the boat because we really want to get to the bottom of health costs.

I do. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Last year, an additional $1.3 million was provided in anticipation of this? But your budget didn't request an increase for fiscal year 2020.
