The Commission intends to address national policy and resource needs for response to and recovery from this crisis.

Representative Crow will provide the congressional perspective on the response to COVID-19 and the role of the Legislative Branch in addressing future pandemic threats. A former Army Ranger and lawyer, he has championed biodefense measures during his time in Congress, most recently in this year’s National Defense Authorization Act.
