Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I want to thank both of our witnesses for their informative presentations.

I want to begin with Ms. Upperton. I agree with her statement that tuberculosis is a global issue. As I have often said, my husband has TB. It's not active, but he was around someone with TB and was exposed it.

What you're doing is admirable. Do you encourage other Olympic athletes to do the same thing?
