Before we begin today’s meeting, I want to take a moment to honor the life of Sarah Beckstrom, a member of the West Virginia National Guard, who tragically lost her life on the eve of Thanksgiving.
Sarah was only 20 years old, and many remember her as someone who possessed a heart of gold, and as someone who was as caring as she was forgiving.

We have a lot of business to catch up on given that the Schumer Shutdown has concluded.
