I want to thank AFGE and your president Bobby Harnage for your great efforts to protect the rights of federal employees and the quality of federal services. I especially want to thank all of you who work so hard - under some difficult circumstances - to make Social Security the tremendous success that it has been.

As Jews, our mission is tikkun olam - repairing the world. This mandate informs my decisions as a lawmaker and helps me set my priorities.
