CONTINUING BABY FORMULA SHORTAGE
(Mr. WALBERG asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute.)
Mr. WALBERG. Madam Speaker, while the baby formula shortage no longer
draws as many headlines, parents are still suffering as a third of
American families still struggle to find baby formula, according to
recent Census Bureau statistics.
Countless parents are still searching store after store in hopes of
finding formula to feed their children. That is unacceptable. Parents
deserve both solutions and answers.
Months ago, the Energy and Commerce Committee unanimously advanced my
resolution calling for the Biden administration to release documents
related to the recall of infant formula and potential impacts on the
infant formula supply chain.
Let me reiterate. This was passed unanimously in committee with
support from both sides of the aisle. I am urging the Speaker and
Democrat leadership to allow a full vote on this resolution
immediately.
We need to hold the administration accountable and ensure that this
level of failure never happens again.
