As you know, Olympic gymnasts have alleged that USA Gymnastics perpetrated the destruction of medical records to conceal the conduct of Larry Nassar.

Are you aware that Indiana law requires anyone who has reason to believe a child has been abused or neglected to immediately report it to police or the Indiana Department of Child Services?

I introduced legislation, along with Senators Merkley, Rubio, and Coons, the National Economic Security Strategy Act of 2018.

I only ask that you review this and provide a written response to this committee by the 1st of October on what actions the State Department plans to take and not take in response to this report.

There is a growing sense, here in this body, I know, that we need robust funding for FY19.

I know you agree that today's national security challenges require the U.S. to utilize our full range of nonmilitary tools.

I would like to pivot to China's predatory economic policies.

I support the goal of ensuring that Afghanistan is never again used as a launching pad for terrorist attacks, like those we saw on 9/11.

I will join the others in congratulating you and the administration for the recent prisoner release.

I personally am a little uncomfortable saying we ought to try to be as market-restrictive as they are.

I am looking forward to asking some more detailed questions about particular ways the Chinese are violating this rules-based order we benefited from.

At least the BUILD Act has one syllable.

Senator Cantwell and I have introduced legislation called the Future of AI Act, pertaining specifically to artificial intelligence and some of the impacts that will have on our work force.

So I do not even think the Chinese strategy is a good strategy for the Chinese people.

So we have to be involved.

Predatory economic practices by China and others... have undermined that foundation for years.

I think us adopting a bilateral investment treaty with China would be a mistake, because it would mandate us to rules that we would have to live by, and they have shown that they are not going to live by the rules.

I want to thank the ranking member, Senator Merkley. I am grateful, once again, for our continued bipartisanship on a range of issues.

I think tying economic security and national security together just makes it easier for us to take the kind of steps that we are going to need to take to be competitive and secure.

Justice delayed is justice denied, in the economic realm.

America's national security rests largely on an economic foundation.

I unapologetically want America to win.

I rise today on tax day to recognize this as the very last time Americans will have to file their taxes under the complicated, burdensome, outdated system of the past. Today, we officially kick off a new tax code--one that is simpler…

I ask unanimous consent to be able to complete my remarks. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. ____________________
