Thank you, Chair.
It's quite obvious that all of you who are here today are motivated by what's in the best interest of consumers, and obviously product safety is a concern for you all as well. Nonetheless, there's a pretty significant disagreement about what kind of regulatory framework gets us there.
I have knack for stating the obvious, so I just thought I'd do that.
I wonder, though, in light of that context—and you started to get at this answer a little bit—how important is it that we maintain that third category between food and drugs? Some of you have expressed some pretty significant concerns about that category as it exists and how regulations that apply within that category are applied and implemented.
I think I heard all of you say that the third category is important, yet you're raising concerns. So I wonder if you can comment about whether you want to maintain that separate category, and what kinds of changes in the regulations would you like to see to make that category work from each of your very different perspectives on this issue?
