The IRS is an easy target in Washington, and you have taken on more incoming than most in your role.

Last year I worked with Senator Hatch on the PATH Act, which creates a new pathway for antibiotics to treat potentially deadly infections.

I support providing clear, accurate, and understandable information to American consumers to help inform healthful dietary choices.

I agree that this is beyond the purview of just the FDA.

I have noticed over time that families are ripped apart and communities are having profound difficulties coping with this problem.

Thank you for your work on S. 404. We appreciate your leadership in bringing more transparency and predictability to the medical device inspections process.

Every year, Secretary Vilsack has tried to put something in the budget to end this fire borrowing process...

Last year, we spent over 50 percent--I think it was 60 percent of the budget, the Forest Service budget, fighting fires.

Knowing that you will be a zealous advocate for trade on behalf of our agricultural sector is enormously important to my state.

Eighty percent of the wheat that we produce in Colorado is exported.

I am so pleased with your answer because, as you know, commodity prices are just terrible right now for all of our farmers and ranchers.

The 21CSC initiative has received bipartisan support in Congress from Reps. Martha McSally (R-Arizona) and Seth Moulton (D-Massachusetts) and Senators John McCain (R-Arizona) and Michael Bennet (D-Colorado).

Virtually this entire campaign was about bringing back jobs and wages to places in America where people who suffered huge economic dislocation.

That is not the intent of the H1B.

The President ran for president saying he was going to make that huge difference, he was going to bring those jobs back.

Efforts to encourage small business will foster job creation.

We need to look at several different levels for job creation.

If we had put a war on neurologic diseases at the same time we declared a war on cancer, we probably would not be having this conversation.

We now have seen that about 50 drugs have been approved as a result of that legislation.

It is just a reminder that the work you do, and the work we do, can actually improve people's lives and that people are watching.

There are a lot of people, as everybody on this panel knows, who are dissatisfied with our healthcare system right now as it is, and they are worried that the Congress is about to make it even worse than it is.

I want to also join Senator Murray and just urge my colleagues to find a way to have a bipartisan discussion as this healthcare bill comes forward.

We have seen the independence of Judge Gorsuch attacked no fewer than 27 times.

This is wrong. This is not the kind of statement that should ever flow from the mouth of a United States Senator.

It is not a statement I would make, in part because I think it is important to uphold the Federal judiciary as a system that is good.
