Orrin Hatch actually said...

Again, I want to thank everyone on this committee who worked on this bill, most notably our ranking member, Senator Wyden.

Senator Ted Kennedy and I created the CHIP program more than 2 decades ago.

Before I begin, I want to express on behalf of the committee the sadness we all feel in light of yesterday's events in Florida.

the CHRONIC Care Act, another bipartisan legislative product out of this committee, was also signed into law recently.
