                                  THURSDAY,   APRIL  28, 2022

                                                        U.S. SENATE,
                      SUBCOMMITTEE  OF THE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS,
                                                            Washington, DC.

                   Senate Office Building, Hon. Tammy Baldwin (chairwoman) pre-

                   Present: Senators Baldwin, Tester, Hoeven, Hyde-Smith, and

                      DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
                                FOOD  AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION
                  STATEMENT OF HON. ROBERT CALIFF, M.D., COMMISSIONER
                         OPENING STATEMENT  OF SENATOR TAMMY BALDWIN
                    Senator BALDWIN. I want to welcome everybody to our first budg-
                  et hearing for this subcommittee of fiscal year 2023. And Dr. Califf,
                  welcome back to the subcommittee. We appreciate your being here
                  this morning to discuss the Food and Drug Administration's fiscal
                  year 2023 budget request. In fiscal year 2022, this subcommittee
                  provided historic funding for a wide variety of activities at the
                  agency, and I want to continue that upward trajectory of the FDA,
                  so it remains the world's gold standard for protecting public health.
                  That  starts with the budget before us, which includes increases
                  for important initiatives, including a focus on food safety, address-
                  ing maternal and infant health, and continuing to address the
                  COVID-19  pandemic.
                  The  fiscal year 2023 budget request for the FDA is ambitious and
                  reflects the vast responsibilities of the agency. We need to ensure
                  FDA  has the resources they need to continue their mission. We
                  must invest in safer drugs, safer medical devices, and a safer food
                  supply. Dr. Califf, I am looking forward to hearing your vision for
                  the FDA and how this budget will advance that vision and support
                  these important investments. And I am particularly interested in
                  learning about your proposed increases for FDA's core safety pro-
                  grams.
                  The   budget request includes significant increases for food and
                  drug safety, device shortages, and focuses on the infrastructure
                                              (1)
