Jay Rockefeller: “I ask unanimous consent to speak as in morning business for, hopefully, no more than 15 minutes. The PRESIDING OFFICER.…”

I ask unanimous consent to engage in a colloquy with Senator Leahy of Vermont, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, regarding S. 2520, the FOIA Improvement Act of 2014. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

We simply cannot afford to take this major step backwards and jeopardize the future of generations by allowing CHIP to expire.

It's my understanding that only the NFL can promulgate uniform rules and policies to address domestic violence.

Without congressional action, I say again, CHIP will run out of funding next fall, placing at risk the well-being of hundreds of thousands of children and pregnant women.
