Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I look forward to today's hearing and the prepared testimony from the witnesses.
Chuck Schumer
The Public Record
Chuck Schumer is an American politician serving as the senior United States senator from New York since 1999. A member of the Democratic Party, he has held the position of Senate Majority Leader since January 2021, making him one of the most prominent figures in the U.S. Senate. Schumer previously served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1981 to 1999, representing New York's 9th congressional district. Throughout his career, he has focused on issues such as healthcare, infrastructure, and economic development, often advocating for policies that benefit working families and promote social justice.
Finding and obtaining safe and secure housing is often the biggest obstacle veterans in recovery face.
It is imperative that Congress acts quickly to address these challenges and work with the Administration to end veterans homelessness.
I especially would like to thank Senator Kohl and Senator Schumer for introducing S. 118 on the first day of this Congress.
This legislation is sorely needed if affordable senior housing is to survive into the future.
Great. OK. Now, Mr. O'Brien of Direct Edge, one of the concerns I have raised about flash orders...

Regulators who are accountable need the tools, talent, tenacity, and information to be able to do their job
I believe America's capital markets have been and should continue to be the leading markets in the world.
I tend to agree a bit with Mr. LaHood, with Secretary LaHood, that almost always on these kinds of issues... carrots have been required to be added to a stick of some type.
Texting--if you watched the President give the State of the Union, half the Congress is texting.
When my two daughters first learned to drive just a few years ago I worried about their safety.
Things change and I think if we move in a thoughtful direction here with legislation that's properly crafted, I think we'll make a difference here.
I think it is most appropriate for the states to handle this issue and devise laws on distracted driving that best meet the needs of their particular state.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and I very much appreciate you and Senator Hutchison extending me the honor of testifying before our great Commerce Committee today.
