Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that when the Senate completes its business today, it recess until 2:15 p.m. on Tuesday, March 23; that following the prayer and pledge, the Journal of proceedings be approved to date, the time for the two leaders be reserved for their use later in the day. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. ____________________

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.
We simply cannot afford to take this major step backwards and jeopardize the future of generations by allowing CHIP to expire.
Creating this program has been one of the most meaningful things I have done in my career in public service.
It is not right to shift the added financial burdens onto working families when a cost-effective solution for maintaining the coverage they already have exists.
