GOVERNMENT INFORMATION GP AGRICULTURE, RURAL DEVELOPMENT, FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION, AND RE- LATED AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2020 THURSDAY, MARCH 28, 2019 U.S. SENATE, SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS, Washington, DC. The subcommittee met at 10:42 a.m. in room SD-138, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. John Hoeven (chairman) presiding. Present: Senators Hoeven, Merkley, Tester, Udall, Leahy, and Baldwin. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION STATEMENT OF HON. SCOTT GOTTLIEB, M.D., COMMISSION OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR JOHN HOEVEN Senator HOEVEN. Good morning. We will call this hearing to order. Today, we are going to focus on the Food and Drug Administra- tion's fiscal year 2020 budget request. I would like to thank the Ranking Member and other members for being present today and certainly thank you, Dr. Gottlieb, for being here today to discuss FDA's priorities for the upcoming year. Thank you for your public service and your commitment to promote the health and safety of American consumers. I wish you well in your next endeavor. Although I am certainly disappointed that you are leaving, and I appreciate your service very much. I look forward to working with Dr. Sharpless when he officially takes over as Acting Commissioner. In every budget cycle, there are winners and losers, and I think it is fair to say that, once again, FDA is one of the winners this time around. For fiscal year 2020, the FDA's budget request for appropriated funds is a 5.5 increase over fiscal year 2019. This is one of the highest percentage increases in all of the Department of Health and Human Services, especially when you factor in that for 2019, the Congress provided the FDA with a $268.6 million, or 9.6 per- cent, increase.
