Chuck Schumer

I appreciate my colleague's courtesy. I would ask my colleague this: Isn't it the case that the very background check proposed in Manchin-Toomey is the same one that has been used for 17 years for FFLs, for Federal firearm licensees? Isn't…

If there is no further business to come before the Senate, I ask unanimous consent that it adjourn under the previous order. There being no objection, the Senate, at 2:06 a.m., adjourned until Wednesday, April 17, 2013, at 9:30 a.m.

There will be a series of up to 9 rollcall votes tomorrow around 4 p.m. in relation to amendments to the gun safety bill. ____________________

I have worked tirelessly with my colleagues on the Commerce Committee and the Families of Flight 3407 to ensure that the important reforms the Congress mandated in the Airline Safety and FAA Extension Act are implemented in a timely…

I do not like judges too far right. I also do not like them too far left, because I think judges at the extremes tend to make law as opposed to interpreting the law.

I thought what happened to Caitlin Halligan was a tragedy.

I know we have worked together on many issues, and I appreciate your expertise, your concern, and your caring.

The number of observation days is going way up.

I carefully considered Senator Schumer's letter to the Commissioners for the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission.

The work of the Senate has become even more vital in restoring the fishing industries in New Jersey and New York.

We are a compact of states. It is not our job to take advantage of other states for our own interest.

It is time to update the management of the summer flounder fishery.

I would also like to thank Senator Schumer for being a strong advocate for recreational anglers

Senator Schumer was successful in obtaining an additional 3 years in the rebuilding period for summer flounder.

Senator Schumer has been very active trying to find a solution to the problem and both the state and its anglers thank him for his continued efforts.

Senator Schumer had mentioned, he has been tireless in trying to find a solution to this problem.

I'm going to watch the councils and commissions like a hawk to see if they live up to their requirements.

I'm committed to assuring that this problem be fixed, either administratively or legislatively.

First, on behalf of New York's fishermen, I really want to thank you, Mr. Chairman.

I appreciate that you said that the administration wants to begin work on Trade Promotion Authority. This is long overdue.

I think we are a year beyond that, and they have not kept that promise.

This simply ignores science and plainly does not make sense.

Given that a combined US Airways and American would control significantly more, it would seem that you would need to divest slots in order to ensure competition.

Will you commit to maintaining JFK as a hub for American?

Will you commit to maintaining New York jobs of both US Airways and American Airlines?
