First of all, I want to say to the Senator from Iowa how much I admire him and the fantastic job he has done on behalf of the poor, people who didn't have health care, and the disabled people who had no voice in Washington.

The Senator is neither shy nor retiring in the leadership role he played and the very pragmatic solutions he came up with over the years. If I may ask, how long has the Senator chaired the subcommittee on Labor-HHS?
