I've had an awful time here in--in the Boston area with my nursing homes. I've had, you know, 20, 30, 40 residents of nursing homes pass away.

I applaud Mrs. Maloney's initiative. I think we can work it out.

I do appreciate your courage in coming forward and taking your tragic situation and trying--trying to help others from--from suffering the same fate.

We have been working with Senator Ed Markey and with Senator Blumenthal on dropping a companion piece on Thursday.

I just hope there is something we might be able to do in the future, maybe within Congress as well, to get together.

I have to say that the President's statements from the beginning of this has been contrary to the direction that you have given us.

I know that Chairman DeFazio has a bill that we are considering right now to provide $55 billion to rail.

Nothing shakes my confidence in Amtrak more than hearing that they are dividing the workforce by bringing in people who are less qualified to work on rail projects.

I would like to add that the reason that we are trying to get a presumption created, so that the only thing a service member would have to show is that he or her was at K2.

I am keenly aware of the need within Somalia for a secure banking apparatus to help that country recover.
