cortez masto. >> thank you, mr. chairman. secretary, always great to see you, thank you. before i get to my questions, i do want to quickly touch the on medicare advantage. seniors in my state rely on medicare advantage to accesses affordable, high quality health care. i often hear from nevadans how vitally important this program is to supporting their health and the health of their loved oneses. that's why i have been a long supporter of medicare advantage. this year i am proud to have led the annual bipartisan letter, and i believe there were 50 senators that signed on to the letter urging the administration to preserve and strengthen the program. last week i spoke with cms administrator about the prosed up-- proposed updates to the program in 2024 and what they mean for nevadams. and i will just reit reiterate today, senator mr. secretary, any efforts to -- should support program integrity and preserve the sustainability of the entire medicare program without disrupting access, without increasing costs or jeopardizing the quality of care. so as you move to finalize 202

mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from nevada. ms. cortezmasto: this saturday marks one year since the supreme court overturned roe v. wade at the urging of extremist politicians upsend -- upending 50 years protecting women's right to health care. at the end of that decision half the states in our country have banned or effectively banned access to abortion. women in those states have extremely options for getting the health care they need. those who can afford to travel have no choice but to go to other states to receive critical reproductive care. that's what happened to lauren hall. she and her husband were excited that she was pregnant for the first time. but then she learned her fetus was developing without a skull, a condition that meant it wouldn't survive. this condition also increased lauren posts risk of hemorrhaging. her doctors at home in texas refused to help her terminate the pregnancy, so she had to travel to seattle where she was finally able to get the abortion care that she needed. she's currently suing the state of texas f

mr. president, i come up to the floor to support my colleague and friend, senator cortez masto in her efforts to bring this legislation not only to the floor but to passage. this has been a long, long trail of broken promises and false assertions. it began with the broken promises and false assertions of judicial nominees who came before the judiciary committee to assure us that the protections of roe v. wade were a precedent, that they would remain precedent. of course, that all evaporated. we then heard the argument that this was states' rights. my friend from utah may not like the phrase, but it's one that his side has used over and over and over again. call it states' rights or call it federalism, the notion was that all we were doing was opening this up to states. but you heard right here on the senate floor the notion that every pregnancy is subject to the control of the government from the moment of conception. that does not allow for a differentiation between one state and another, and now that the states' rights assertion has been proven false, now that it's clear that many members n

cortez. >> thank you all for being here. mr.barr, as you heard we had the executives before us, note one took responsibility for their actions or lack there of. and throwing others under the bus. just yesterday greg becker, ceo of failed silicon valley bank testified no federal reserve supervise rear raised interest rate risk with him prior to failure of svb. i am hearing from you is that is not correct. >> senator that is not true, to give you one example, read from this letter that the supervise rear sent to silicon valley bank, dated november 15. it is addressed to mr. greg becker. first line of the summary says, the interest rate risk simulation are not reliable, it says changes in net interest rate margin, income and earnings are inconsistent. simulation results giving false sense of safety and the rising rate environment. and it masked they need to take actions earlier in the rate cycle. this was sent to mr. becker on november 15 and memorializes conversation with mr. becker and other senior executives on november 14. >> t

cortez masto: if there is no further business to come before th senate, i ask that it snd adjourned under the previous order following the remarks of senator lee. the presiding officer: without objection. mr lee: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from utah. mr. lee: it's been a long time coming, but it's with enormous pride that i stand to celebrate the passage of theeins act in the house of representatives this landmark legislation represents a significant step forward towards reining in the ever expding government. i'm immensely grateful to house republicans, to the house freedom caucus, and to representative kat kammockor championing this desperately reform. it began with the profound recognition that something was fundamentally wrong with our federal regulatory system. we realized that the power wielded by these faceless agencies was unfolding unchecked eroding the very foundations of our republic, rendering it unaccountable. the notion that a small group of unelected individuals could impose far-reaching regulations that affected every aspecof our lives was itself an affront to the principles upon which this great nion was built. certainly contrary to the rules consti
