I will tell you, I thought it was unfortunate that the President-elect missed an opportunity when Prime Minister Trudeau was here when he said, gee, all we need with Canada is a tweak.

The administration has talked mightily when it comes to trade, and so we have now reached the time for action.

Foreign subsidies and dumping that harm American workers have to be identified quickly and remedied.

The U.S. Government cannot deploy a full-court press with only half a team.

I hope that by the end of this hearing Americans will have heard more detail about how the Trump administration plans to meet the extensive promises that were made in the 2016 campaign.

The administration has talked a big game when it comes to trade, but now it's time to act.

The country needs a USTR who is going to stand up for our rights on behalf of our workers and our businesses at the World Trade Organization.

Where is U.S. leadership?

My own view is that the agenda has to start, particularly in this season of March Madness, with a vigorous, full-court press for tough trade enforcement.

Trade policy cannot end with effective enforcement of existing rules.

Speaking for Democrats, we are willing to work with Republicans to provide a statutory exception for Mr. Lighthizer, but we also insist that Republicans work with Democrats to provide a lifeline to America's hard-working miners who are now…

I thank my colleague. We have heard Republicans say repeatedly that anything they are going to do with Medicare is not going to hurt today's enrollees or people nearing retirement. The fact is, TrumpCare hurts both. It is going to shorten…

Before my colleague from New Hampshire leaves, does she have a quick minute for a question?

My colleague is making a very important point. I think we all know the Senate budget process is a lot of complicated lingo. People in the coffee shops in New Hampshire and Oregon don't follow all the fine points of reconciliation. As the…

I would only add that what we learned in our hearings and in our discussion is that women, particularly the women served by the Medicaid Program, are really dealing with the consequences of opioid addiction as well. In our part of the…

Will you commit now to getting us a response every 30 days until we get this question answered?

I think we do need to clarify this 702 issue, because it is critical to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

We need that number. We have sought it for years and years.

Secretary Price is the captain of the President's health-care team. He's been the top advocate for Trumpcare.

The budget math is fake, but the extreme agenda that would deprive millions of Americans of access to health care is not.

This administration, from day one, has preferred 'alternative facts' and convenient spin to the truth.

Privatizing Medicare is the wrong direction for people across the country who expect the program to be there for them in their later years.

(i)f any issue between HP and the State presented a conflict between the two, I recused myself from the process.

I've been in meetings, where we were talking about contractors and talking about implementing a program. And when it came to a vendor that we had a relationship with, I would recuse myself. I would get up and leave the meeting so that…

If you had an individual who was making barely $12,000 who had the same kind of choice to make and chose not to pay their premium, they would be cut off from coverage for 6 months.
