I hope this President and this administration are up to the task.

TPA could have been done a long time ago, and we cannot afford to waste any more time.

International trade is critical to our economy. Trade supports more than 38 million jobs in the United States

I would just like to note that I was pleased with your testimony that you 'look forward to beginning our work with you on Trade Promotion Authority.'

Well, we want to keep that world leadership going, and this will help us to do it.

I hope he does not do that, but we will deal with whatever happens.

If the United States is to be taken seriously on trade policy around the world, we need a real leader at USTR.

Congressional oversight is critical to ensuring transparency and, I might add, accountability in the executive branch

I am perplexed by the Obama administration's refusal to commit to seeking 12 years of regulatory data protection for biologics in the TPP negotiations.

The U.S. bio-pharmaceutical industry is the poster child for this 21st-century economy.

Now, despite my offer to begin negotiations that very day, no steps have been taken by this administration to engage Congress on Trade Promotion Authority.

There certainly is reason for hope. The administration is forging ahead to complete negotiations for a Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement this year

Look, this place is not being run on regular order. The committees are being ignored. The committees are established to be able to intentionally look at these matters and hear both sides and hear the top experts in the country. I feel very…

My time is up, but I have another question on this on the arbitrary price controls known as total beneficiary cost thresholds.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act cut $306 billion out of the Medicare Advantage program to create a new entitlement.

I hope that at some point we can take a serious look at the drivers of health care costs in the U.S.

We cannot forget that Medicare is the Nation's largest health care payer.

I have been very clear about my opposition to Obamacare.

It is important to do tax reform so that you support economic growth.

I have significant concerns that I hope will be addressed by greater responsiveness and transparency from the administration.

I believe we are growing poorly and that we can understand the reasons for that, and which leaves us constantly on the edge of the potential for a crisis.
