Jeanne Shaheen

This duplicative regulation does not just affect the seafood industry and it is not really about food safety, I believe.

Over the past few years, the Federal Government has found that the declining levels of cod in the Gulf of Maine have been dramatic.

I am actually working on legislation to try to make sure that we can get countries to register when girls are born.

I am very excited that you are talking about a comprehensive energy bill that is going to start with energy efficiency because it is, as you both said so eloquently, the cheapest, fastest way to deal with our energy needs.

But whatever you want to call it, it is a big step toward a smart, energy policy for this country.

This is legislation that I sometimes call Shaheen/Portman. He calls it Portman/Shaheen.

I am very pleased that my home State of New Hampshire actively participates in NIH's Institutional Development Awards (IDeA) program.

If I could respond, I think one of the reasons for the success of the agreement was because of the efforts of Senator Cardin and Chairman Corker to solicit input from members of the committee to see what people could agree to and, where we…

Unfortunately, we have yet to have a real discussion about how to make well-intentioned changes to improve the Affordable Care Act and instead we have seen mostly attempts to repeal the law or have it destroyed through favorable court…

A ruling by the Supreme Court that undercuts the law would be devastating to millions of Americans.

King v. Burwell, which we are here to talk about this morning, is just another attempt to repeal the law with no plan on how to replace it.

This case really is not about ObamaCare per se. It is about whether the executive branch executes and enforces laws passed by Congress as written, in my opinion.

The intent of the Affordable Care Act is clear, that it provide all Americans with access to affordable health insurance regardless of the State in which they live.

I believe that the Affordable Care Act is working. Millions of Americans, including tens of thousands of New Hampshirites, now have access to affordable health care coverage.

I would hope that once that has been determined, that there is a real effort made to make sure that all of those groups who are involved in these cases understand what that policy is and how it is determined.

I have to inform you that... funding the icebreaker is a top priority in the budget.

I just want to be counted in the record as weighing in also in support of the importance of icebreakers.

I think we should lift the sequestration caps.

I am very pleased to join you for this hearing on the budget of the Department of Homeland Security.

I thought the conditions there, other than the fact that people were being detained, certainly were not conditions that I was concerned that people were not getting proper treatment.

I think many of us felt that FEMA did too little too late.

Let me just follow up on Senator Hoeven's question, because I think one of the things we were both very impressed with when we were down at the border were the aerostats and the use of different surveillance systems to improve the ability…

I want to commend the effort to go forward and address those recommendations.
