We can't wait to have you back. And also, I just think about that last moment when we were in Gerrit Smith Estate, in the barn. We went back in the barn and we saw these conditions where horses and mules were put, and that they actually…

I agree. I think we have to focus on the people who are helping us, not the people who aren't. And I think that this is what we wanted to do today, and we are grateful to you to be able to focus on people who actually help, not the people…

Yes, thank you. And what a great discovery it was, just sitting on the floor of the House Chamber, Burgess and I. And I said, you have never been to Peterboro? How about this? Who would think that I would be hosting a famous person like…

Thank you very much, Madam Chair, and to all the members of the committee, thank you for the honor of introducing two exceptional nominees.

It is my honor to introduce a proud New Yorker, a dear and longtime friend--we have known each other for 30 years--and fellow Brooklynite, Nick Perry, to serve as the next U.S. Ambassador to Jamaica.

He is a native of the island, and Nick Perry would be the first ever--the first ever Jamaican-born person to serve as its American Ambassador.

we`re working very hard to try to persuade Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema.

Only the second woman ever to serve as the UK Ambassador and the first in nearly half a century.

Nick is an immigrant, he is a veteran, and a longtime public servant, and he represents the best of what America is all about.

I am really proud to have urged President Biden to nominate Jane Hartley as our Ambassador to the UK.

I was proud to support the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which I think is critically important.

I just want to make sure that the Army Corps locally in the Buffalo area understands the importance of that wall not collapsing.
