WASHINGTON DC (January 25, 2019) — US Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa today made the following statement on President Trump’s announcement today to reopen the government and allow Congress more time to address the ongoing security and humanitarian crisis on the southern border.

WASHINGTON DC (January 25, 2019) — Mr. President, I come to the floor today to offer a few reflections in these opening days of the 116th Congress.

On January 3, I was honored to be sworn in as the 91st Senate President pro tem. As many of you may know, I love history. I studied to be a history teacher. And I’ve devoted six decades of my life to public service where maybe I’ve helped make a little history along the way.

Thank you to all who attended our press conference today (and braved the cold temps!).

Your continued support of our mission is very much appreciated.

If you have any questions, please contact Nancy Renkes at nrenkes@riverbendfoodbank.org.

Thanks so much.
