Mr. GREEN of Texas. Madam Speaker, I thank the chairwoman, Ms. Johnson, for the time.

Madam Speaker, Dr. King was eminently correct when he reminded us that life is an inescapable network of mutuality tied to a single garment of destiny. What impacts one directly impacts all indirectly.

This became perspicuously clear to us when we had a shortage of PPE in this country. We have a strategic petroleum stockpile, in the sense that we have oil, petroleum that is on reserve for emergencies. When we pass this bill, we will have a strategic medical supply stockpile, something that is desperately needed; something that this bill will provide; something that I will vote for, and I encourage my colleagues to do so as well.

Pass the bill.
