Jay Rockefeller: “Losing our dominance in science and high-tech fields has led to a loss of 687,000 manufacturing jobs since 2000.”

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

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.

We are talking about dealing with everything from continuing resolutions, all of the appropriations, what are we going to do about ISIS, and all the rest of it, in a lame duck session forum.

If funding is not continued for CHIP, it is going to be a nightmare.
