I rise today to speak about the comprehensive immigration reform bill we will begin debating later today and for the rest of the month. I thank my colleagues for voting yes on the motion to proceed, which will let us debate this very…

I wish to announce that the Committee on Rules and Administration will meet on Wednesday, June 12, 2013, in SR- 301, Russell Senate Office Building, at 10 a.m., to conduct a hearing on the nomination of Davita Vance-Cooks, of Virginia, to…

We will not permit Iran to have a nuclear weapon, period.

If I were a bad bank, which I am not, let me state for the record, I would not be too worried here.

I want to begin by applauding the Administration's recent announcement of new sanctions on any financial institutions that conduct significant transactions in Iranian currency.

Thank you, and I want to thank the three witnesses here today for their hard work here.

I believe the Administration has to start sanctioning foreign banks that continue to conduct significant financial transactions or provide significant financial services with the sanctioned Iranian banks.

I express my extreme pride that Mr. Broderick would be the first Dominican American Federal judge on the New York bench.

I hope, strong bipartisan passage on the floor.

Your record is exemplary, and you were approved by this body unanimously as U.S. Attorney.

We owe it to Raechel and Jacqueline to move this bill through Congress. We owe it to their family. We owe it to all drivers to put their safety first.

Without her incredible advocacy and work to protect consumers, we would not have gotten this far.

By enacting this agreement into law, we can set a Federal standard for safety.

Senator Schumer and Boxer's bill, S. 921, the Raechel and Jacqueline Houck Safe Rental Car Act of 2013, reflects that agreement.

I'm pleased consumer safety organizations, the rental car industry have come together to support this legislation.

We would like to thank Senators Schumer and Murkowski and the other co-sponsors for introducing this legislation.

If a car is not safe enough to be bought and driven off the lot, then that car is not safe enough to rent.

We commend your leadership, as well as that of Senators Blunt, McCaskill, and Schumer, in sponsoring legislation...

Please pass this law.
