Herb Kohl

Of course nothing could be farther from the truth. We do not support a government takeover of private retirement plans.

Our real goal here is to help people build savings and financial planning that will allow them to make informed decisions, and we are convinced that the American people are perfectly capable of doing this.

one size does not fit all here. There are differences between social and economic groups, different levels of education, and especially with women, that we want to do more work with.

Thank you, Chairman Kohl, and my thanks as well to Ranking Member Corker.

Of course, our Nation's safety is our first priority, but would you agree that the cost should be a factor as the administration decides how to proceed with closing the prison?

That is a high priority that I have, and I would like to feel that you will also feel that it is a high priority to get that letter of support.

I think cost does play a role. I do not think it can be the determinative role because the primary issue in trying to decide how to close Guantanamo is the safety of the American people.

It seems that the antitrust enforcement loses out to other interests in internal administration deliberations.

It is my view that we need increased focus on competition in agriculture to ensure that our farmers and our ranchers get fair prices for their products.

Vigorous and aggressive enforcement of our Nation's antitrust laws is essential to ensuring that consumers pay the lowest possible prices and gain the highest quality goods and services.

I have introduced a bill that abolishes obsolete antitrust exemptions for railroads.

How will small and medium-size cities fare after this merger?

Will a combined United/Continental be a stronger competitor to the previously merged Delta/Northwest?

How will the loss of competition between these two national systems impact airfares and service?

At what point do we reach 'a tipping point' for competition?

Thanks to funding made available in last year's stimulus bill, the federal government is making efforts to expand our national broadband network so that more doctors and patients can take advantage of these technologies.

Aging in place is a priority for many Americans.

We are fortunate to have Senator Ron Wyden chair today's hearing on the National Broadband Plan and the impact it may have on telehealth for seniors.
