Jay Rockefeller: “Having health insurance is a fabulous thing. So is having an education.”

Because Mr. Shimizu's testimony left so many questions unanswered, then Chairman Rockefeller and Senator Nelson sent a letter to Takata requesting documents and information regarding the company's defective airbags.

That is stunning. It has not been reauthorized, CHIP. It is still out there, floating.

I am interested in the children who still have to be reached out to, in the Alabamas and West Virginias and Pennsylvanias and Ohios, et cetera.

If confirmed, I will commit to review all of the statutory requirements and congressional deadlines.
