Can I get a commitment from you to work with my office, work with the president to undo this?

Just for my own background, because this is the first time we're talking about it, do you know if anyone from your team has raised this to ours before now?

Or is this the first time that we're engaging on this topic?

Well, it's the first time we are engaged.

And we've engaged in other topics.

Plenty of topics.

This is a serious issue for the community in Miami.

I hope that at this point, after all of the many other topics that you've engaged us with that we've been able to very successfully work together on,

I'll just tell you, my role has been on these exemptions to receive and transmit pursuant to the statute.

If there's something specific beyond that, it merits a follow-up conversation, but it's not familiar that I'm not aware of you guys.

From what we know, it wasn't just receive.

The website was set up.

There was coordination with your staff.

You provide no recommendation to the White House on this at all?

I transmit and submit.

I receive and transmit.

But your job is to look out for the health of the American people.

Just follow the statute.

But how about the kids that go to that school and people that go to that church?

I mean, I would love to have an opportunity to try to solve this problem.
