I would like to ask unanimous consent to insert into the record the press release put out by Ford Motor Company earlier this year announcing their withdrawal from the Japanese market.

These documents illustrate, I think, widespread issues with FTA implementation and enforcement and the need to get them right under TPP.

My number one goal, when it comes to the cutthroat global economy, is to fight for American workers.

We need to get enforcement.

KOPPA would roll back MPRA's pension-cut provisions, while providing funding to troubled multiemployer plans.

I remember hearing people across the horseshoe from me critical of these auto workers who had all these legacy costs.

People across the United States will not allow that to happen.

Thank you for supporting the Keep Our Pension Promises Act, which would solve the whole problem of underfunded multiemployer plans.

It is clear that implementing a program in Medicare will help, but not solve the problem.

It makes no sense. We have one proven tool that could help patients suffering from addiction, and Medicare is not even allowed to use it.

Understanding that this is a Congress where most of its members have taken pledges to lobbyists saying they will never come up with any revenues

We need to make sure that health-care providers have the tools they need to manage patients who are being seriously harmed and may even die from addiction.

How long will it take for these--whatever the number, up to and including the number 61, if there are 40 or 60 or 20--how long will it take to bring in and train new providers?

I do want the commitment that, if proven, people who have retaliated against whistleblowers will be held accountable.

I need your assurances first that while this investigation is going on and the issues and problems are being fixed, you will ensure that veterans receive better quality and good quality care throughout.

The dual mandate is so important, I so appreciate your emphasis always on it, on, of course, restraining inflation, but also equally importantly, and to many of our constituents, I think maybe even more importantly, the importance of job…

CHWs are integral to the success of CHAP, and have already been invaluable in Ohio's effort to reduce infant mortality.

Ohio ranks 45th in the Nation in infant mortality--and even worse among the States that collect data on African American infant mortality.

This helps us to be able to save lives by reducing the likelihood that patients in Medicare are doctor-shopping.

We would love your help to get this to the President's desk, where I believe he would be very pleased to sign it.

This should be done quickly and the fierce urgency of 'now' that Senator Menendez talked about.

I think it demonstrates that if the committee focuses on discrete areas of the tax code, we can achieve bipartisan agreement on narrow, concrete proposals.

The comments that all three of you made speak to the seriousness of how hardworking Americans face such an uncertain future.

I only need 5 minutes, so I am willing to cede whatever remains so he can have enough time, but I would like to reserve 5 minutes, and I lift my objection.
