Big companies have been hurt. Small companies have been hurt. We have lost millions of jobs because of currency manipulation, which makes the exports from China and other countries about 33 percent cheaper and imports from America to China…

Would you please notify me when I have taken 3 more minutes. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Yes.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 thank my great colleague from Michigan for her outstanding words and leadership. She is a senior member of the Budget Committee. She knows just what is wrong with this budget and she knows how to reach the American people in terms of…

I echo the voices of my friends and colleagues, the Senators from Oregon, Massachusetts, Ohio, and Rhode Island in calling on the FDA to act with all possible speed to issue final rules on regulating e-cigarettes. I want to thank…

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

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.

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

I rise today to discuss the nomination of Loretta Lynch, a proud New Yorker and soon-to-be Attorney General of the United States of America. She was born in North Carolina, and her father was a fourth-generation Baptist minister, a man who…

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.

To say that we are having a hearing now before we have seen the agreement... is not fair, not right, and not adequate.

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

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.

This process is not good. First, we are dealing with an issue that is unique.
