Lets convene our second panel. We think our panelists for being here and sitting through the first panel. Before i introduce our panelists, let me just say a few words.

And, the need to reauthorize the pandemic preparedness act later this year. I want to take the opportunity to acknowledge the previous leadership on the bill from senator murray, chair of the committee, and senato
