I thank the Senator from New Jersey, who has been a real leader on this issue too. The bill would have come to the floor before the clock started because it would have come to the floor in September, likely, before it even expired. Think…

I agree with the senior Senator from Hawaii. Give us just a day. Go back to the Murphy continuing resolution. You don't need to have 3 days. Give us 1 day so we can reel in the government, so that if we don't finish by 6 or 7 or 8 o'clock…

Senator Murphy is right. It is not just what is in the resolution that concerns a number of us, including funding for the Affordable Care Act. We remember debates here in this body--there are a whole lot of Members of Congress, who have…

I have heard my colleagues talk about CHIP and take credit for CHIP and it is so great what they did. Of course, I am glad they now are actually for it, but I have worked on CHIP for a long time, for more than a decade. I am on the Finance…

I thank Senator Casey and Senator Stabenow for their leadership. They are exactly right about this. They are right about maternal health, CHIP, rural hospitals, and community health centers that so many people depend upon, and I thank them…

But today we will hear testimony that some foreign investors are not interested in capturing market share...

We must work together as a Congress first to assure the national security of the United States...

Congress responded the next year by adopting FINSA, the Foreign Investment and National Security Act...

Over the past decade, we have seen China become more aggressive.

I know the President talks in terms of wanting to do bilateral agreements. But this is one that, if you and Ambassador Lighthizer move forward on, you should move forward with great caution, talking to us, listening to members of Congress…

Thank you, Mr. President. Thanks to Senator Schumer and my colleagues, who will join us in the course of the evening, for coming to the floor tonight to shine a light on the more than 1 million workers and retirees all over this country…

We need your work to make sure they continue to stand with us.

I am concerned that many WTO decisions... have undermined U.S. trade remedy laws.

One of the main problems with the current NAFTA agreement is that its labor and environmental standards are unenforceable.

I do not believe we should reward their bad behavior with a bilateral investment treaty.

The point of this bill is to ensure that foreign investments made here... are in our economic interest as a country.

200,000 Ohioans are getting Medicaid, are getting opioid treatment, and getting it because of the Affordable Care Act, mostly through Medicaid.

I hope you can convince Leader McConnell, who frankly has resisted moving on CHIP.

We obviously need stronger leadership than we have seen. We need the President more engaged.

I would like you to please submit your proposed definition of 'able-bodied adult' to this committee.

He turned to me and said she would not be alive if it were not for Medicaid.

You can understand our skepticism and concern when we hear top elected officials and appointed officials in this country talk about able-bodied adults and disqualifying them from Medicaid.

This is a bipartisan issue.

Getting this right saves lives. Period.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for this important hearing, the first of two this month in which the Committee will look at ideas for strengthening and reforming our laws to combat money laundering and illicit financial transactions.
