You can see that we have made some progress and I appreciate the men and women back in Nevada that are working for us.

I appreciate the visit you made to my office yesterday, where we talked about some numbers and some statistics that were important to me.

The Cadillac tax would affect about 1.3 million Nevadans: school teachers, union members, senior citizens.

I am committed to ensuring that all Nevadans have access to high-quality and affordable health insurance.

I consider to be a very onerous tax.

I want to kind of hone in a little bit on this Cadillac tax.

I do not question the President-elect's desire to repeal and replace Obamacare. He said it, and I do not doubt it.

You can imagine that we are a little sensitive as to who becomes the next Treasury Secretary.

Since the beginning of the Great Recession, no State was hurt harder than the State of Nevada.

I think tariffs play a role both as a negotiating tool and, if necessary, to punish offenders who don't play by the rules.

I've been arguing for that since I've been here in Congress, that any new regulation that comes out of this Committee or any other committee should have to be run through some cost-benefit analysis.

What I'm trying to hope is that this idea, this project, moving forward would actually be a model for the rest of the Nation.

Can we get your commitment that we can try to overcome some of the shackles that we find through this difficult project as we move forward?

We're not talking just the 290 miles between Phoenix and Las Vegas, but an additional 400 miles to get it to the northern end of the state.

Will you help us in securing the resources that are necessary in order to not only grow this designated freeway between Phoenix and Las Vegas?

It has been decades since we've actually designated a future highway here in this country.

We have two cities that are 290 miles apart, and these are the two largest cities in the country today in the Southwest that do not have a freeway between them.

Nevada is a microcosm of the challenges and the opportunities before the Department of Transportation in the coming decade.

One of the most important constitutional functions, of course, is the creation of infrastructure.

Mr. Chairman, thank you. And to the Ranking Member, I have to tell you, Mr. Chairman, I'm impressed with the size of your Committee.

I think it's important for us to make sure that they can be confident in that online marketplace.

I certainly do appreciate it.

Accountability and reform in putting your customers' interests first should be Wells Fargo's top priority.

The actions of some Wells Fargo employees directly took money from Americans' pockets in order to artificially inflate company quotas.

Trust to some is the center point of any relationship with a business, and I assume it is the same that Wells Fargo has broken that trust.
