I respect the ability of Congress to determine what amendments it may include as bills are moving through the legislative process.

If the request is reasonable--we're only asking for 5 minutes per member on a set of issues that are this important at the beginning of a new administration.

I hope that's not a conflict of interest.

You have to do more than you're doing.

It's a major problem for women.

The Centers for Disease Control told us back in 2009 that one in five women are the victims of sexual assault on campus.

This problem is--to say it's an epidemic is also an understatement.

I want to commend both Senator Collins and Senator McCaskill for the way they have run this Committee in the last 2 years.

That is why, last year, I joined with Ranking Member McCaskill in asking the GAO to update its analysis to help us better understand the extent to which our seniors remain at risk of financial exploitation by guardians and what is being…

This issue continues to be of interest to other members of our Committee, including Senator Scott, who is here today, and Senator Hatch, who joined as a co-requestor of the report.

I appreciate that. Thank you.

I will submit a question for the record on the Chesapeake Bay resources, and I know we have talked about that.

I know that you just announced, and we appreciate this, a purchase of 20 million dollars of cheese to help those dairy producers.

If you could just assess based upon all the work that you have done and all the efforts you have put forth, are there other options we should be considering, including new authority, new legislation, new approaches?

I have seen not only in Pennsylvania but across the country a lot of great public servants... We would be hard pressed to find a better Secretary of Agriculture, and we are grateful for that service.

Under the current system, it's possible for both an FDA-approved diagnostic and one or more LDTs to be available to patients and providers at the same time.

I worry if we add too much regulatory burden, that we will create a backlog of applications at FDA that cannot be kept up with.

Well, I hope you will be committed to standardizing those services because as we have heard today, sometimes people are getting information that does not answer their question, number one, and number two, there should not be a variance…

I cannot say that we are exhausted because you only have to put your hand up or down, but it is good we are voting, but thanks for reconvening.

I think we share the belief that we must work toward creating an economy that ensures all Americans have a fair shot.

I believe one of the most critical long-term investments we can make is early childhood education.

I'm voting for Hillary Clinton. She believes -- Hillary believes we need an economy that works for everyone, not just Donald Trump and those at the top.

If he is a champion of working people, I'm the starting center for the 76ers.

Donald Trump says he stands for workers and that he'll put America first, but that's not how he's conducted himself in business.

This November, we have a choice. You can choose a candidate who's only out for himself, who wants to get rid of the federal minimum wage, and who would cut taxes for the richest Americans at the expense of the middle class.
