I support moving forward with repeal because I personally believe that it is the right thing to do.

I think that this policy is discriminatory in nature and unnecessarily creates an institutional barrier.

You and Admiral Mullen have both gone on record in support of repeal.

You know, it seems apparent that we need new board and new governance rules and obligations for the board; and also, contract procurement issues have been raised and need to have a lot more attention.

I guess I'm surprised that we don't see what the investment policy is.

I think you've had a good hearing, and we obviously have a lot to do in order to improve the PBGC going forward.

Well, I see that as a huge problem.

Well, when I think about all the people who are counting on it, I think the foreseeable future needs to have a very short definition so that we can plan appropriately and effectively for these retirees.

today I rise in support of S. 510, the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act, and also in support of an amendment I cosponsored with my colleague from Montana, Senator Jon Tester. Each year, upwards of 70 million Americans are sickened from…

My focus is to make sure that the voice of small business is heard at all levels of government.

Jobs are my number one priority and the key to a true economic recovery is enabling our nation's small businesses.

Clearly, these people do not swing a hammer for a living, or string high-power lines, or work in our cornfields or oil rigs, or lay bricks, and drive trucks.

the traditional defined benefit pension is endangered.

the three-legged stool of retirement security--private pensions, personal savings, and Social Security--those three legs have gotten pretty wobbly.

we are facing a future where no one other than the rich will have the opportunity for a safe and secure retirement.

It is extremely important to me that North Carolina have highly capable representation on the Federal courts.

today I am proud to introduce the Healthy Media for Youth Act. The purpose of this bill is to promote positive media depictions of girls and women among our nation's youth. The majority of 8- to 18-year-olds spend about 10 hours a day…

It is my hope that hearings like these will allow the Senate to move exceptional nominees along faster and confirm them in a more timely manner.

I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting the Lumbee Recognition Act. The Lumbee Indians are among the earliest North Carolinians. They descended from the coastal tribes of North Carolina and lived along the Lumber River before our…

I am glad to join my colleagues today to discuss our elections process and the state of campaign finance. As everyone here knows, in January of this year the Supreme Court ruled in a 5-to-4 decision in Citizens United v. the Federal…

I rise to associate myself with the remarks of the chair of the Agriculture Committee, Senator Lincoln, as well as Senators Grassley and Landrieu, concerning the importance of providing funding to pay the still pending claims of the Black…
