Jay Rockefeller: “If we keep the Senate, if we do not keep the Senate, that will have its affect.”

I come to the floor to wholly support the comments of my colleagues, the Senator from California and the Senator from Arizona, to speak about a matter of great importance to me personally but more importantly to the country. The Senate…

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

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.

I thank Senator Leahy for attempting to address my concerns about this bill. I thank his committee staff for working with my committee staff to insert clarifying report language.
