Orrin Hatch

Since the beginning of the year--and keep in mind that we're still in February--we've seen a stream of businesses come forward to announce plans to award bonuses, raise wages, or boost 401(k) contributions for their employees.

I am pleased by the success of the new tax law, which has already resulted in substantial benefits for American workers and job creators.

I do not know the details of Rob's personal life. Domestic violence in any form is abhorrent.

It's incredibly discouraging to see such a vile attack on such a decent man. Shame on think publication that would print this and shame on the politically motivated, morally bankrupt character assassins that would attempt to sully a man's…

Domestic abuse is abhorrent, and it always is.

I thank my good friend, Senator Coons, for co-sponsoring the Music Modernization Act and for his engagement on this critically important subject. Like Senator Coons, I want this bill to achieve broad support so that it can move forward in…

I can't express my appreciation well enough to thank the Senator from Tennessee for this wonderful set of remarks he has just given. He has outlined it as well as it could be done. Tennessee has always been very well represented, but Lamar…

Innovation in higher education can take many shapes and sizes, and often times innovation and access can be one in the same topic.

I support competency-based education largely because it benefits both students and communities by preparing students to respond to rapidly changing workforce needs.

AAP thanks Senators Orrin Hatch and Bob Casey for their strong leadership on the Federal Emergency Medical Services for Children, or EMSC, Program.

There are thousands and thousands of U.S. jobs hanging in the balance.

But there's been a rather stunning lack of action from the administration.

No administration should expect to have my support for a trade agreement that fails to include provisions that protect the Internet as an open platform of commerce, speech, and the free exchange of ideas of all kinds.

China, by far, poses the greatest trade-related risk to our economy due to its unfair trade practices and distortive, state-led, economic policy.

The administration has a long way to go in terms of transparency on trade.

The U.S. service sector is a key driver of the U.S. economy and plays an important role in supporting and strengthening the U.S. manufacturing and agriculture sectors.

I need to welcome our newest member, Senator Whitehouse, to the Finance Committee.

If there is not a plan, then everything the American people heard in 2016 about cracking down on China was just a bunch of empty campaign patter.

Today, we have a hearing on two important nominations.

As most of you should be aware, we are tackling a lot today.

I would encourage members to enter their statements in the record so that we can move expeditiously.

I'd like to begin with --

If the Senator will yield, I thank the Senator so much. I am grateful for the friendship that I have with all of you but especially with him. He is one of the up-and-coming, moving, strong Senators in this body. I have tremendous respect…

Before I turn to the main portion of my remarks, I wish to speak briefly on the situation in the Middle East. The protests across cities in Iran reflect the failed leadership of a corrupt regime. The Ayatollah's negligence in denying the…

I want to reemphasize my support for the Children's Health Insurance Program and my commitment to making sure it gets reauthorized.
