It is so important as we look at developing an infrastructure program for this country, that we take technology into consideration.

Today, we cannot believe that Kim Jong Un actually will turn over all of his nuclear weapons.

I think that is the best way to move forward.

We need unity in America.

I am very much in favor of a diplomatic solution, here.

The President Assad needs to be held accountable for what he has done.

I never thought, in my wildest interpretations, it would be used 18 years later, in a campaign against ISIS.

We need an Authorization for Use of Military Force in regards ISIS.

I voted against the agreement, but I think it is critically important that we speak as one voice as strongly as we can.

Studies have demonstrated that seniors with Medigap policies have higher utilization rates as compared to those that do not have Medigap policies.

One way to increase access to quality health services to rural and underserved communities, is by offering treatment through telehealth technology.

There are incentives to keep people healthy.

We are the only State in the country that has an all-payer rate structure for hospital reimbursement.

I think it is really an area where we can do much better.

This is a nonpartisan bill, has the strong support of both Democrats and Republicans in the best tradition of our Committee

I thank you and just ask that you continue to work with us so that we can make sure that we are together moving these projects forward.
