Senator feinstein, i will not have an opening statement. I defer to you. Sen. Feinstein get settled here. First of all, thank you, mr. Chairman, for holding this hearing. Today, we are discussing holocaust era insurance claims.

That i love. I would like to start by saying thank you to chairman corker for your leadership in this endeavor and to senator cardin. Your leadership has been extraordinary, and i would like to say thank you to the rest of the committee that has supported this effort.

Today i give my eighth and final state of the state address, and in preparing it, i have had a lot of thoughts, including the speaker and president have been kidding me in recent days that its too bad, it takes about eight years to train a governor and just when you get them trained, they leave.
