R. 3, our legislation to bring down the cost of prescription drugs now. Members had town hall meetings, press conferences and the rest, to listen to peoples concerns, to share what we intended to do. And now that were back this week, two committees, education, and labor, under bobby scotts leadership, will be marking up h. R. 3. Energy and commerce under chairman Frank Pallone will be marking up h. R. 3. And ways and Means Committee chairman neal will be having a hearing on the bill this week and marking it up next week. So were really going down a path of passing legislation that will be transformative in the lives of the American People for what it will save them, what it will save the taxpayers. Might be interesting to know that, in the course of this past week or so, Congressional Budget Office reported that h. R. 3 will s
