I want to recognize the work of the Marshall Legacy Institute, MLI, and extend my congratulations on its 16th anniversary. While serving as Secretary of State, GEN George C. Marshall devised a plan to rebuild Europe after the devastation…

first let me commend the chairwoman for her extraordinary leadership in so many different ways, including her articulate explanation of the crisis we face at the moment and her compelling argument that a piecemeal approach to resolving the…

Thank you very much.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, what we have before us is an opportunity to send a message across America that there will be no special treatment in Washington, D.C. for Members of Congress and Washington insiders. It is…

I have another question, but I think you have answered all the questions with your last response.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, let us be clear as to what we did tonight. We sent a request to the United States Senate to simply treat all Americans equally under ObamaCare. We sent a request to the Senate to keep the…

But one of the premises is 10-percent private capital up front. The question is: Is that sufficient? Or is it too much?

There is another aspect, too, as you alluded to in your responses, that there are times when the market can provide adequate capital.

I think it is critically important that from an investor's standpoint, if a servicer is not following their responsibilities under the agreement, that there is some mechanism to remove them.

I think we have got to think harder on some of these issues.

I yield 8 minutes to the Senator from New Hampshire, Mrs. Shaheen. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from New Hampshire.

I yield 3 minutes of proponent time to Senator Coats, as well as, by agreement of the other side, 3 minutes of opponent time. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Indiana.

I thank the gentlelady for yielding. I came here today on the floor of this Chamber, Mr. Speaker, and I just dropped the Fair CR. And what the Fair CR says is, let's listen to the American people. Let us delay ObamaCare for at least 1…

I yield 5 minutes of proponent time to the Senator from Massachusetts, Mr. Markey.

I will begin where Senator Pryor left off, and that is to commend our chairwoman for her extraordinary leadership--not only on behalf of her constituents but for the Nation. These are very difficult times, and we all feel much more…

I ask unanimous consent that Rita Culp, a detailee from the Environmental Protection Agency to the Committee on Appropriations, be granted floor privileges for the remainder of the 113th Congress, and Tiffany Taylor, a detailee from the…

I think having that Federal backstop reassures the insurance industry that, for catastrophic risk, none of them will go under.

There is another dimension to terror attacks that really was not so obvious in 9/11, and that is cyber security.

We have to extend the reinsurance program going forward.

In the absence of TRIA, we wind up creating a gaping hole in that plan.

I cannot see any system that does not work without that, and that requires regulation.
