Amy Klobuchar

Thank you very much, Senator Schumer.

Trying to get those consulate officers there doing their job, protecting the security that Senator Feinstein referenced, is going to be very important.

I hope that is something that we pursue in the future because I have even heard the argument made that there could be some advantages from a security standpoint.

It is time to get back those jobs.

I am still very excited about this bill and the work that we have done with Homeland Security.

I have been long involved in this and have been asking this.

I am encouraged that you have taken these steps.

I am a sponsor of the Next Generation Wireless Disclosure Act, a bill that would require wireless carriers to give consumers complete and accurate information about their 4G service.

If we imply that somehow--if we were to believe popular culture in America, which is that, you know, any person, any one of us in this room, could be grabbed off the street at any time and wrongfully convicted of a crime.

We allow the actual perpetrator, the actual criminal to continue to wreak havoc on society.

I am not only a former prosecutor, but our county, Hennepin County, when I was there, took a lead on some of this work.

I hope that you see that all has not been lost in terms of the repercussions and the positive outcomes of your work.

Thank you very much. We have now been joined by the Senator from Washington Mrs. Murray, who has spent a long time fighting for domestic violence bills.

Crop insurance really helps you to mitigate the risk when you have--with the weather volatility, market volatility, whatever there is

I was just with a number of farmers at my weekly Minnesota morning meeting, and they are really excited that we are moving ahead with these hearings.

I oppose, as many members of this Committee do, the proposal in the President's budget that would cut $8.4 billion from the Crop Insurance Program.

I rise today to speak on the Keystone XL Pipeline project. I support moving forward with the Keystone Pipeline. TransCanada needs to resubmit an application with a route that resolves Nebraska's local concerns before we make the decision…

Whenever I see a New Jersey name, I always remember Senator Menendez telling me that they had tee shirts in New Jersey that say 'Only the strong survive.'

I think we always called it ministers of justice. That's how we had to think of ourselves.

Senator Grassley and I are both in favor of that, and I know that Justice Kagan, when she testified at her confirmation hearing, was in favor of that on the Supreme Court level.

I authored an amendment with Senator Merkley during the Wall Street reform bill to help end the practice of steering.

I thank the two Senators for their good work on this very important resolution. ____________________
