Statement

Date: Oct. 16, 2014
Location: Washington, DC

Congressman Jack Kingston (R-GA), who called today for a "czar" to oversee the response to the Ebola threat, issued the following statement in response to President Obama's remarks about naming someone to the post:

"I am encouraged the President is listening to those of us on Capitol Hill who have recognized the mismanagement and called for better coordination and leadership. To confront the Ebola threat we need a modern-day George Marshall with a modern-day Marshall Plan and the ability to deliver results."

Kingston is the chairman of the Appropriations Subcommittee that oversees funding for Health and Human Services, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the National Institutes of Health.
