Jeff Merkley said "I wish to thank the Senator from Ohio, Mr. Brown, for his work, along with the work my colleague from New York, Senator Schumer, has done. It is time we stand for workers across our Nation who have been systematically losing the good-paying manufacturing jobs because China has been pegging its currency and discriminating against American products to subsidize the export of their own. This must be discussed in every corner of our Nation and must be discussed here on the floor of this Chamber because it is affecting the success of American families in Oregon, in Ohio, in New York, in North Carolina, and throughout our Nation. Thank you, Madam President. I note the absence of a quorum. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll. The bill clerk proceeded to call the roll." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
