dingell, five minutes for questions, please. mrs. dingell: thank you, mr. chairman. doctor, like everybody here, we are a fan and really grateful for all the work you're doing, sitting here through all these questions, many of which sound the same. but i think we're all saying that we think the o.t.c. system is broken. we don't think it's working for patients, for doctors, for people in the industry who are making innovative products. your testimony said this in the and the questions and answers keep reaffirming this. for the record, i again want to -- it is true there are far more o.t.c. monograph products than brand of prescription drug products? dr. woodcock: that is true. mrs. dingell: despite this fact, f.d.a. got $7.9 million to review o.t.c. products while prescription drugs spending totaled $1.1 billion when user fees were included, is that correct? dr. woodcock: that's correct. mrs. dingell: so i do have this question because when you're talking about the five years and you're talking about cruiserweight an i.t. system that doesn't exist, is it going to -- c

dingell: thank you, mr. speaker. i want to thank my colleague, congresswoman jan schakowsky, for yielding me time and her leadership on making this happen as well as thanking chairman latta, chairman walden, chairman -- ranking member pallone and my good friend, fred upton from michigan, whose all of the hard work has gotten us to the important where we are today. the self-drive act is going to improve our economy and it's going to save lives on the road. passing this bill today means we're one step closer to signing a responsible framework for the deployment of highly automated vehicles into law. it means we're going to improve mobility for seniors and people with disabilities. we are going to reduce congestion on the road, improve energy consumption and as everyone has said, we're actually going to improve safety on the road. . more than 35,000 people died on our roadways. we're hearing 40,000. self-driving cars has the promise to save lives when 90% of those are by human error. only if we get it right. that's why

dingell. the chair: the gentlewoman is recognized for a minute. mrs. dingell: thank you. while i have great respect for my friend and colleague from georgia, this misguided amendment would undermine f.d.a.'s work to enforce critical patient safety protections that were passed in the drug quality and security act in response to a deadly meningitis outbreak that killed 22 people in my home state of michigan. passing this amendment could ultimately lead to another crisis like what we saw. this amendment would prohibit the f.d.a. from finalizing a draft memorandum of understanding that outlines when and in what quantity traditional compounding pharmacies can distribute a compounded drug across state lines. hamstringing f.d.a.'s ability to ensure that interstate shipments are only made from pharmacies and states that are exercising oversight over that could create a gaping loophole and would turn back the clock to the days when bad actors were free to ship products and murder people across the country without oversight. it's completely unacceptable. we should be standing up fo

of course not, right, because they all have like the dingell maps. the first time you see that, that's breathtaking. so i think google has a device, google home. and the first time you see it on stage and you see wow, this is like almost like the star trek computer, right. like you can ask it a question and it can give you an answer to anything. you can ask it to play music. and it can give the weather, it can give you sports scores, it can give you a calendar. it's amazing. and you just think wow this is the beginning, what is it going to look like in five or ten years or next year is going to be a lot better than it currently is. but these are all really exciting moments when you see those events and you start thinking. oh well today, you know, we got one at school that will get cheaper and cheaper and maybe you can have one in every room and maybe you can have these like very smart but amazing speakers and people like little, you know, little google home devices that can help you. >> rose: in a sense of our success as a nation has in part been bey

really, really iran every single word of the text and i can assure you, with my experience, john dingell never would have given any discretion to epa that if he could possibly of whatever he gave epa the number they had to use and it wasn't in your expertise dreamed up a grant. mile but that's what it is and live with it. i will finish this.

dingell. >> i think my colleague for yielding. americans deserve peace of mind in knowing that all drugs they take are safe and effective, whether it's a prescription drug or an over-the-counter drug. there are over 300,000 over-the-counter products on the market today which americans use in everyday life. fda's regulatory system for otcs is completely broken. the agency has a meager budget of $8 million which all of us keep saying over and over, and a cumbersome process that hinders their ability to let new and innovation products come to market. it creates a new user fee system for the otc product to give fda resources it needs to do its job of insuranc ensuring patient safety. the agency can move quickly to update and revise the system thread ministry of orders rather than rulemaking which are similar to the reforms made under the innovation act. we see the benefits the user fees have brought to the regulation of prescription drugs and medical devices and it's time to bring the system to otc space as well. while i'm pleased tha

and actually as joe barton tells me if john dingell -- john is quite liberal when it comes to healthcareorable man. if he had stayed as chairman, he would have gotten republican input, it would have been bipartisan. but they didn't do it bipartisan and they are not going to allow us to have any democratic votes to repeal what needs. steve: i feel you are going to take heat about him getting recalled. >> look. the reason i say that, i was down in lufkin at the forest fair. all over east texas. people are hurting. and there are people who have diseases and they lost their doctor. they lost. steve: obamacare is not working for them. >> and they're begging, please, you've got to repeal. this have you got to give me some help. others saying i lost my job because of obamacare. one employer said i'm struggling, he said i went from $50,000 a year to 150,000 in two years. i can't stay in business with these kind of increases. my employees will lose their jobs. there are people hurting. so, there are people that have cancer, that have heart problems, just like john mccain and they need help and he

if you ask those in 1990 that amended the clean air act congressman dingell, he said it would be a glorioushg under the clean air act. we have to ask what is going on from a sign tink perspective. what do we know and don't we know red team, blue team exercise. go to the next step which is what? what are we empowered to do about it? what tools are in the tool books to address it. ainsley: challenge each other. that's what they're supposed to do. >> for all the world to see. ainsley: climate change poses less of immediate threat. scientists got the model wrong. let's talk about the paris climate agreement. rex tillerson alluded to the fact that he might be changing his mind. is there truth to that? >> the president has been steadfast. the courage it took to stand in the rose garden in june and say to the world that he was going to put america's interests first and not be apologetic to the rest of the world. when you look at the paris agreement. china, india, and russia, what steps did they take to reduce co 2 from that agreement? compare to the united states. as we talked about a minute ago,

dingell, for five minutes, please. >> thank you, mr. chairman. dr. woodcock, like everybody here we're grateful for all the work you're doing sitting here through all these questions some of which sound the same. but i think we're all saying that we think the otc system's broken. we don't think it's working for patients, for doctors, for people in the industry who are make innovative product, and your testimony said this and questions and answers were getting we're getting keeps reaffirming that. but just for the record again want to -- it is true that there are far more otc monograph products than brand of prescription drug products. >> that is true. >> and despite this fact, fda got only 7.9 million last year to review otc products while prescription drug spending totaled 1.1 billion when user fees were included, is that correct? >> that's correct. >> so i do have this question because when you're talking about the five years. >> yes. >> and you're talking about creating an i.t. system that doesn't exist, is it going to -- can -- can money help acc
