Chuck Schumer

Senator Charles Schumer has introduced S. 1744, which would require that all pilots have an ATP as a minimum condition for employment with commercial Part 121 carriers.

Thank you, Madam Chair.

And, frankly, what came out of China on this issue was terribly disappointing.

Watch the world economy system tie itself into a pretzel because the most prosperous country of them all is saying, 'We want to be more prosperous at everybody's expense'?

They still didn't let the currency freely float, but they were still manipulating it, but they let it rise.

I think that the legislation that Senator Graham and I posed played an effect.

All these high-minded editorial boards who love to just say, 'We are so much smarter than politicians,' were wrong.

President Obama, backed by conclusions of a broad range of economists, believes that China is manipulating its currency.

I don't think any Americans who follow this are happy with the present pace.

If the currency were allowed to float, wouldn't they grow at a much greater rate?

By the way, I was called a protectionist.

We cannot even imagine what you have been going through.

I would just urge that you urge they write it into the budget that they are going to bring to us, the administration.

I do not see any legal impediments to our seeking the death penalty.

We all deeply live with the losses that New York and the rest of the Nation suffered in 2001.

You will have my full and undivided help.

It seems to me that New York should not bear the burden alone.

I was the primary author of the Federal death penalty provisions for terrorists in the 1994 omnibus crime bill.

I remain committed to ensuring that American consumers are going to be further protected.

Abusive overdraft policies are blatantly unfair, in my view, and the banks know it.

This is exactly why we need, in my view, an independent Consumer Financial Protection Agency.

The Homes for Heroes Act provides funding for the development of housing for low-income veteran families.

The least we can do as a Nation is ensure they have a roof over their head in the Nation they fought to protect.

In order to combat and prevent veterans homelessness once and for all, we must take a comprehensive approach and use all the tools at our disposal.

The crisis of veteran homelessness has never been worse in our country, and frankly, we face a moral responsibility to address it as soon as possible.
