We need the President, the Vice President and the entire Administration, this Committee and the entire Congress, to pressure Germany and all the culpable corporations to fulfill their moral obligation to the Holocaust survivors.

Holocaust survivors are not asking for more help from the United States taxpayers.

You understand that in-home care is vital for survivors.

We believe in this Committee and in our elected members of Congress, led by you, Senator Nelson and Senator Collins, along with Senators Boxer, Feinstein, Mikulski and Rubio, who have previously supported us to take a lead, starting today.

This Senator is wearing a garnet and gold tie. I noticed the Senator from Alabama is wearing a crimson tie, but certainly his allegiance is orange and blue, I take it?

I am going to take advantage of the fact that the Senator from Alabama is here, because we are bringing forth today a resolution which will pass by unanimous consent, if the Senators from Alabama will so agree. The fact is that it was a…

I want to particularly thank Senator Grassley, because we have been through a number of nominees.

Several of us are sponsoring the Lifetime Income Disclosure Act, and it is a way of showing people what their savings would look like in retirement.

The system we have now does not work well for hardly anybody.

We have really had some problems in Florida with assisted living facilities basically taking advantage of seniors, nursing homes.

The behavior of humans with regard to buying insurance, unless they think they absolutely need it, they are not going to buy it.

The very thick document in there, which is for prescribers.

I want to especially thank our colleague, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand for bringing this issue to the Committee's attention.

This is a topic that is a true consumer protection issue.
