I'm very glad to hear your support for it and commitment to it.

Is there a Diabetes Caucus in the Senate? No. Only in the House. Well, guess what? There is going to be one now.

We would not be here where we are today without your leadership, so thank you very much for that.

I wish to recognize June 24 as Cystinuria Awareness Day and to offer my support to the International Cystinuria Foundation as the organization continues its excellent work promoting knowledge of this disease within the research and medical…

I thank my colleague from Minnesota for his words and his advocacy on behalf of the people of his State and all across our country. I rise today to join my colleagues and once again speak out against the Senate Republican healthcare bill…

I thank our leader, Senator Schumer, for his remarks. I join with Senator Schumer and all of our colleagues in wishing the very best to our tough and resilient American hero and colleague, John McCain. Our thoughts and prayers are with him…
