Chuck Schumer

We believe that passing this bipartisan bill is one important step that Congress can and should take immediately to help get unsafe recalled vehicles off the roads.

I want to particularly welcome Matthew Reynell from Rochester, NY and Dr. Jeremy Kohomban from The Children's Village, which does a great job in New York City, my home city.

We all share the goal of trying to keep kids safe and keep them in families.

I thank the Senator. If I might, I thank the Senator for the great job he has done under very difficult circumstances. I think everyone on both sides of the aisle appreciates Senator Wyden's intelligence, his bipartisanship, and his…

It is amazing. One of the reasons we are gaining support is Main Street is being hit by these trolls.

Today's hearing marks the first time Congress is hearing a unified chorus that legislation we have drafted balances the interests of traditional patent holders and businesses.

I want to thank Chairman Grassley and Ranking Member Leahy for organizing this hearing and for your leadership and partnership on this issue.

This bill is different, and we are going to get it done.

I will not be able to support any deal on post-grant that does not preserve the viability of the process for these little startups.

I feel confident we have taken tremendous steps toward the goal that my colleagues and I all identified: solve the problem of frivolous, expensive lawsuits without damaging the legitimate claimants.

We just need you to get an MOU moving on pre-inspection. Can you commit to getting that done as quickly as possible?

Will you commit to implementing the recommendations of this report and starting talks with Canada to establish permanent pre-inspection at the Peace Bridge?

Wouldn't it make sense that, wherever it's feasible... that whenever possible these employees go through a screening the way the pilots do and the flight attendants do?

I was shocked and appalled by the gun smuggling ring that operated out of Atlanta, Georgia.

The Peace Bridge is willing to put in the $44 million to do it.

I believe that our nominee for TSA administrator is an excellent choice and I believe that he will be very focused on aviation airport security.

I think I can speak for our friends on both sides of the aisle, you are always available, you are always candid.

To get 3.5 million people on and off Manhattan Island every day is an amazing accomplishment.

One of our top priorities for this Congress must be passing a long-term infrastructure bill that provides the level of funding our system needs.

If not now, when? We have been trying for a long time.

I do not think it should be part of this agreement, which has been very, very fastidiously worked out.

My belief is the greatest problem America faces is the decline of middle-class incomes.

If we want to truly protect American jobs, we ought to be worried about.

I believe it ought to be American-led, and I think the work of the chairman and the ranking member... is important.

The bill we have proposed is strong and unilateral. It gives companies that are aggrieved an option for relief, and we cannot have weak tea.
