BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. GRASSLEY. Madam President, as Democrats in the House of Representatives work to pass Speaker Pelosi's prescription drug bill, I remind my colleagues that for any bill to become law, it must be bipartisan and President Trump must be able to sign it.

Unlike current House efforts, the Grassley-Wyden Prescription Drug Pricing Reduction Act fits the bill. It is bipartisan, and President Trump has endorsed it. My Republican colleagues in the House recently pointed to it--in other words, the Grassley-Wyden bill--during an Energy and Commerce Committee hearing as the only path forward to lower prescription drug prices. I welcome this support from Republicans in the House of Representatives.
