Thank you very much. Thank you to all of you. Your testimony was very helpful.

Registered Apprenticeships are a valuable tool in our effort to help more Americans get the skills they need to compete in the modern economy.

I know through my conversations that there is strong bipartisan support for apprenticeships.

I think there has been some confusion. And as you are talking about the need to really, you know, focus more on national security needs, of course, and readiness, you know, that raises the question of why we are not trying to really answer…

I appreciate the bipartisanship and the sensibility that I saw during this committee funding resolution process.

This bill was not rushed. It is long overdue. I recently joined our colleague and civil rights icon, Congressman John Lewis, on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, commemorating the march and the fight for the right to vote. We can never…

Today is a momentous day, one that makes me proud of this Chamber. After years of inaction, Congress is moving to address our country's gun violence problem. We have seen some of the worst mass shootings in our Nation's history in just the…

I think generally speaking the transition was much smoother than people thought.

I had the great honor actually to chair this subcommittee throughout Don't Ask, Don't Tell...

I think that there is this disconnect that we are talking about where, if we could see that as a transition that is not unlike some other possibilities...

It is not the small donors that people mistrust; it is the large ones.

We also know that it invades privacy.

I would say, if for no other reason, we shouldn't pass this because it is unconstitutional. I yield back.

I just wanted to--you know, the sense I get of some of these amendments is to really go backwards rather than forward.

I think that we know that ballot harvesting, as you are thinking about it, is not the fact that people are allowed to cast absentee ballots up until election day.

Voting is a right, not a use it or lose it privilege.

So I would urge a 'no' vote.

We can change the whole perception of the general public, I think, through trying to come up with a better way.

I think that they were not open.

Provisional voting is good for robust democracy and encouraging citizens to engage with voting.

I think we really don't want to go there, because access is one thing, but fraud is something very different.

Thank you all for your testimonies and for your past and current efforts to make our world a safer place.

the FEC is a completely failed agency.

You know what I am wondering here is, what excuse is justified or not justified?
