“CDC has offered to provide assistance to States throughout the process. In fact, I recently confirmed today that CDC has already offered California technical assistance--up to six staff for up to 6 months--to help them make this change. Further, given some confusion about that technical assistance, I have asked CDC to send a letter to California, restating that they would provide that assistance.

He has an explanation of how that came about and the differences this bill has made and the urgency with which this needs to be done right now.”
