Thank you, Chairman.

And by the way, I appreciate your response to my colleague from Ohio about protecting people who have preexisting conditions.

We need somebody at HHS in place who can work with us to be sure that the legislative and the administrative policies are working together and that this is done carefully.

As you know, Congress recently passed legislation authored with Senator Whitehouse called CARA, our Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act.

As you know, a couple of weeks ago Congress passed a budget resolution to set up a process that gives us the possibility of replacing the Affordable Care Act with policies that work better.

I believe in expanding exports. I am a former U.S. Trade Rep. And I think we are not doing enough there.

I think tax reform is one way within your purview that you can make a big difference here.

I think the U.S. is asleep at the switch.

I think your very presence at the United Nations would be a reminder of that and what makes our country unique.

Israel has been talked about today, obviously a big issue at the U.N. And I would agree with what was said today about the fact that this relationship is a cornerstone of our strategy in the Middle East.

We are in a more dangerous and volatile world in part because America has not led.
