It is a really popular program.

Because Mr. Shimizu's testimony left so many questions unanswered, then Chairman Rockefeller and Senator Nelson sent a letter to Takata requesting documents and information regarding the company's defective airbags.

Without congressional action, I say again, CHIP will run out of funding next fall, placing at risk the well-being of hundreds of thousands of children and pregnant women.

This, I have to say without sentiment, will be the last Health Subcommittee hearing that I chair.
