                            A MILLION CRISES

  (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, last week the Wall Street Journal reported 
that a whistleblower employee at Abbott Nutrition filed a complaint 
with the FDA in February of last year, months before the originally 
reported date of October. If true, President Biden and his FDA must 
answer for why they ignored these alarming claims.
  Parents in middle Tennessee are struggling to find baby formula as 
the out-of-stock rate has skyrocketed to 92 percent.
  Ultimately, this is just another crisis that has been made much worse 
by the Biden administration, about which one White House official on 
the Domestic Policy Council gave the excuse that the administration's 
plate was full with ``a million crises going on.''
  Unfortunately, President Biden's failed far-left agenda caused the 
million crises. Those many crises very well may have distracted his 
administration from initially taking the baby formula shortage 
seriously, as well as contributed to the administration's inexcusably 
slow reaction to the crisis, allowing it to get much worse than it 
should have.
  We must get to the bottom of this failure and hold those accountable 
responsible, but in any case, the President must do better.
