Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak on a matter that is incredibly important to our national security, public health knowledge, and preparing for the next pandemic.
It has been well over a year since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our country closed down in the face of a public health crisis, the likes of which we had not seen in decades.
And to this day, we still do not have a definitive answer regarding the origins of COVID-19. Getting to the bottom of how this virus originated and how it spread across the globe should be one of our top priorities in Congress.
Today, the Republican members of the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis will hold a forum to discuss the origins of this virus. Every member of this body should want to know where this virus came from, and every member of this Select Subcommittee should be in attendance.
As I said earlier, finding the origins is important to our national security, public health knowledge, and preparing for the next pandemic.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker, I yield back my time.
