I am pleased that the President has finally nominated a candidate to serve as NHTSA's Administrator, a position that has been vacant for nearly a year--a critical year.

Customers with affected vehicles who desire alternative transportation in the form of loaners or rental cars have them available to them at no cost.

We will act aggressively to protect the American public.

The Jamaican authorities have made 100 arrests, but there have been only a handful of convictions, and we still are pressing for extradition.

Fraud is going to continue, not only against seniors, but against all people, but we started chipping away at it with regard to seniors.

Senator Collins and I have run this committee in a bipartisan way and we decided early on that one of the things we wanted to do in looking out for the interest of senior citizens was to go after the people who are perpetrating fraud on…

Senator Rubio, they see the risk much higher in the humid states, but Associated Press reported on November 17 that Honda had quietly decided to replace impacted Takata airbags nationwide rather than just in hot and humid states.

Today, I wish to bring awareness to the growing problem of falls amongst our seniors, the fastest-growing population in the United States. Each year, one out of every three older Americans over age 65 falls, resulting in more than…

Today I announce my support of the Social Security Garnishment Modernization Act. I once again want to thank and commend Senator Collins, my co-sponsor on this legislation and co- leader on the Senate Special Committee on Aging. This is…

I don't think we should adjourn and go home with matters of war and peace in front of us. This Senator certainly intends to support the appropriations bill, the continuing resolution necessary to keep the government functioning. But one of…

What impact does debt have on workers trying to put money aside for retirement.

Would you believe--of all things--student loan debt? Then, if they cannot pay, lo and behold, their Social Security is garnished, and that brings them below the poverty level, because you can garnish down to $750, down to that level. And…

First of all, I thank the Senate for confirming the nominee for Chief Financial Officer of NASA, David Radzanowski. Now the team is fairly complete over there, and we can move to the next phase. As we move to the next phase, as we are…

Think ahead to 2016, the opening of the expanded Panama Canal, the increased cargo that will go to East Coast ports.

I have introduced today a Senate joint resolution. This is a resolution that will express the authorization for the use of the U.S. Armed Forces against the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant. It is a resolution that has been…

I wish to speak about health insurance. We notice that nationally and back in our States, the angst over the Affordable Care Act--often derisively referred to as ObamaCare--has subsided. In part, that has occurred because more people are…

The Senator is correct. As a matter of fact, the staff of the Senate Appropriations Committee, with whom I have consulted, is very familiar with the great operation of the Joint Interagency Task Force to go after these drugs. As the…

I thank my colleague for his leadership, and I wish to ask my colleague if he is aware of the testimony the commanding general of U.S. Southern Command, General Kelly--a marine four-star general--gave to the Armed Services Committee and to…
