What I'm asking you is--there is at least one voucher program in Florida, the McKay voucher program, which makes students sign away their rights before they can get that voucher. That is fundamentally wrong.

I think all of us here share a commitment to public education and understand the essential nature to our democracy.

I am concerned that when students who experience disabilities receive a publicly funded voucher to attend a private school, they often don't receive adequate resources.

On behalf of the thousands of New Hampshire residents-- The PRESIDING OFFICER. Debate is not allowed during a vote. The Senate will be in order.

I am so pleased to be joining you on this Committee because the Committee's work is, of course, so focused on expanding economic opportunity.

I hope we'll think about making it accessible to people who, for a variety of reasons, can't drive.

a project to bring commuter rail would not only require a partnership between Massachusetts and New Hampshire, but also Federal support to enhance that state and local effort.

we need to be seeking more innovative and more varied options of funding, and the TIFIA has certainly proven its worth.

I am particularly grateful to this Subcommittee for the work it has done.

Certainly, we are all concerned about the terrorism that is a threat from faraway places.

There has been a lot of discussion among Committee Members about the opioid, heroin, and fentanyl crisis, which is devastating all of our States, but New Hampshire has been particularly hard-hit.

I think we all agree that foreign infiltration into our utility infrastructure, into any of our infrastructure, is unacceptable.
