Orrin Hatch: “The Serve America Act of 2009 authored by Senator Orrin Hatch and the late Senator Edward Kennedy.”

It is disappointing the ranking member feels a need to question a statement that I made during the hearing.

Those backlogs at the Social Security Administration are unacceptable to many, if not most, of us here in the Senate.

Having a confirmed Commissioner, and sustained leadership, will benefit the Social Security Administration.

I urge Congress pass the OPEN ACT before the end of this year.
