"It is unconscionable and tragic that, right now, families cannot find safe, affordable baby formula to keep their children healthy & growing. Next week, the House will bring up a bill that will empower the federal government to get nutrition into the mouths of America's babies.
Thanks to leadership of @EdLaborCmte Chairman @BobbyScott, our legislation will empower the federal government to relax certain non-safety-related regulation to address supply chain disruptions and recalls.
At the same time, Chairwoman @RosaDeLauro of @AppropsDems
is holding a hearing next week and planning to bring to the Floor an Emergency Supplemental Appropriation to immediately address the infant formula shortage.
And the following week, Chairman @FrankPallone of @EnergyCommerce
will hold another hearing as we continue shining a bright light on this urgent issue and explore further actions the Congress could take. We must ensure that a baby formula shortage never happens again.
Ensuring that every precious baby has the nutrition that he or she needs is a matter of the baby's life and development. We must take urgent action to protect their health and well-being -- now and for the rest of their lives."
