On the recordJune 19, 2006

I agree entirely with what the Senator from Massachusetts has said. In fact, the governmental assistance programs that are required and that are in place do not have to do the job of filling in the gap between this poverty line and the minimum wage as we have allowed it to exist. So there is a serious issue here. I wish to mention one other aspect of this issue. Mr. President, how much time remains? The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator has used 30 minutes. The Senator's time has expired. The Senator from Virginia.
