I believe that freedom, in the form of free-market principles, is the best way to foster economic opportunity for all Americans.

If confirmed, I will work to ensure that Eximbank faithfully implements all laws and reforms enacted by Congress.

If confirmed, I look forward to working with the Administration and the Congress on an aggressive response to China's unfair trade policies.

We have a lot of refuse left over, a lot has been done with AML, but there is still work to be done.

You basically cannot have an economic development conversation with any businesses who are a problem finding the right skill sets for the jobs of tomorrow.

I mean, I agree with the premise of giving the States the flexibility.

I continue to be frustrated that the administration continues to call for the elimination of NASA's Office of Education.

A lot of our workers who are tending to our water systems are aging out, and it is not a career that a lot of people are really aspiring to.

I am delighted that we have come to this point where we are unanimous for the WRDA bill.

I am really pleased to be on the STAR Act, the childhood cancer act.

I am anxious to hear how we progress with that.

We have a real vested interest in this, and I want to give you--I want to hear your view on this.

I think a lot of that is increased productivity, and though we have a lot more work to do, I think some of the good work that you are doing to take the regulatory boot off of American workers is certainly appreciated where I live.

I just want to thank you and your department and the coordinating aspects of what you have done with the U.S. attorney's office.

Okay. Let me ask the question, Mr. Benner.

Is it being diverted from China to Mexico and then up that way?

We have the STOP Act that we are pursuing to try to stop the flow in through our mail facilities.

It's hard to imagine what 2,000 pounds of fentanyl is like, but my understanding is the tip of my little pinky fingernail is enough to be a lethal dose of fentanyl.

I would just like some comment on that, and I want to have the assurance that this is still a top priority.

I am hopeful we can move that, because when it was first brought to my attention--Senator Alexander, I think, was leading the charge on that--it seemed like a good way to solve a very difficult and expensive issue.

This legislation, I think, would go a good way in assisting with the renewal of our parks.

That was the right thing to do from both pragmatic and legal perspectives.

I think that I would encourage us working together to try to keep that, I think, very valuable program.

For many of our constituents, how the Corps actually deploys their funds and rehabilitates our waterway infrastructure is confusing and ultimately a disappointing maze.

My concern is that withholding these funds from States like mine, who have no sanctuary cities and have remained compliant with all relevant statutes, runs the risk of disrupting local law enforcement's ability to protect public safety.
