                             119TH CONGRESS

  Mr. GRASSLEY. Madam President, as the 119th Congress kicks off, I 
look forward to continuing my work for Iowans. As President pro tempore 
of the Senate, Iowa is No. 1 with my leadership.
  I look forward to working with my colleague Senator Joni Ernst to 
represent the people of Iowa and bring their views to the policymaking 
tables. The two of us will work with our colleagues--Congresswoman 
Mariannette Miller-Meeks, Congresswoman Ashley Hinson, Congressman Zach 
Nunn, and Congressman Randy Feenstra--across the Capitol to represent 
the good people of Iowa. We are ready to roll up our sleeves and get to 
work.
  I just emphasized the Iowa delegation putting Iowa first. I do that 
at the same time we remember the voter mandate of the last election to 
put America first. We will work with President Trump to bring that goal 
to fruition.
