I look forward to working with colleagues, especially appreciated the comments on Tuesday from Senators Kirk and Heitkamp and Donnelly.

Does it bother you at all if OCP has donated millions to the Clinton Foundation and just recently hosted a fundraiser and we are making them a loan? Does that raise a red flag with you--does that not bother you?

It is bad for small business owners who want certainty to plan their investment and hiring but cannot make long-term decisions because of congressional inaction.

I am not convinced that a long-term reauthorization is merited.

Ex-Im Bank should be bipartisan and always has been since first authorized at the end of World War II.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

How do you ensure the American people that none of the money guaranteed by the American taxpayer has not been used to fund the Clinton Foundation or other unrelated activities once the money is there?

We should not put our manufacturers and our exporters at a disadvantage to China, to India, to European countries.

In today's global economy, we need to support businesses when they sell their products around the globe.

I remain disappointed with the Bank's lack of progress toward these goals.

Congress cannot leave unaddressed Eximbank's failures to properly manage its risk.

In determining whether reauthorization is justified, I believe Congress must take another hard look at Eximbank.
