                         BABY FORMULA SHORTAGE

  (Mr. ROSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROSE. Madam Speaker, today I rise in support of middle Tennessee 
mothers and fathers worried about finding baby formula to feed their 
children. My heart especially goes out to those looking for specialty 
formulas. My own 13-month-old son, Sam, uses a formula for sensitive 
stomachs. My wife and I struggled for some time to find a formula that 
worked for him.
  There is no excuse that in the United States of America, the world's 
most productive bastion of capitalism that parents cannot find enough 
baby formula to feed their newborns and are forced to rely on formula 
imported from foreign countries.
  Unbelievably, this very serious problem, like so many others 
currently plaguing our country, is what you get when you have a 
President of the United States who is constantly asleep at the wheel.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to refrain from 
engaging in personalities toward the President.
