"As a father and a grandfather, I understand how difficult the formula shortage has been for families all across the country.

It's why I've directed my Administration to use every tool available to increase supply and get more formula on shelves as quickly as possible.

We've taken three key actions.

First, I invoked the Defense Production Act. A measure to make sure that manufacturers are first in line for the materials and ingredients they need to make safe, high-quality infant formula here at home.

Second, I launched Operation Fly Formula. A major effort to air-lift infant formula that meets American health and safety standards.

Today, I'm proud to say that because of these flights, high-quality formula is already on its way to American shelves.

Third, the Food and Drug Administration is reviewing applications for other new, high-quality imports to increase our supply.

We still have work to do, but we are making critical progress."
