The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 10 a.m. in Room SH– 216, Hart Senate Office Building, Hon. Edward M. Kennedy, Chair- man of the committee, presiding. Present: Senators Kennedy, Dodd, Harkin, Mikulski, Murray, Reed, Sanders, Brown, Casey, Enzi, Burr, Isakson, McCain, Mur- kowski, Coburn, and Roberts. OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR KENNEDY The CHAIRMAN. We will come to order. We are expecting Senator Enzi to be here in just a moment or two, but he has asked us to go ahead, and we shall. Our hearing today is on the confirmation of Kathleen Sebelius to serve as the next Secretary of Health. Few debates in Congress touch our lives as profoundly and per- sonally as healthcare. Over the past 10 months, I have seen our healthcare system up close. I have benefited from the best of medi- cine. But we have too many uninsured Americans. We have sickness care and not healthcare. We have too much bureaucracy—paper- work and bureaucracy. Costs are out of control. Today, we have an opportunity like never before to reform our healthcare, and we need a Secretary of Health who has the vision, the skill, and the knowledge to help us get there. Governor Kath- leen Sebelius has those traits and more. She was named one of the five top Governors by Time magazine. She earned that accolade by reaching across the aisle to find solutions that worked. Her Healthy Kansas initiative put thousands of people on the road to better health. As insurance commissioner and as Governor, she has been a strong voice for the rights of patients and con- sumers. When it comes to reforming our healthcare system, we know that challenges are great. I have the confidence that Governor Sebelius can lead the way with common sense solutions. Although her du- ties as Secretary may begin with healthcare reform, they do not end there. Food safety, drug safety, medical research, disease pre- vention—all of these and more have urgent need for attention. She (1) VerDate Nov 24 2008 15:54 Jan 20, 2011 Jkt 000000 PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 6633 Sfmt 6633 S:\DOCS\48540.TXT DENISE 2 is the right person for the job, and I strongly support her nomina- tion. Governor, we welcome you today and thank you for your willing- ness to help serve in this important position. I know Senator Enzi will be here in just a moment or two. I will ask that we move ahead then with—ah, there we are. Senator ENZI. I went to the wrong room. The CHAIRMAN. Good to see you. We have got two arrivals here, two arrivals. We are doubly blessed this morning. So we will move ahead with our friend and colleague and leader, Senator Enzi. We thank you very much for being here. STATEMENT OF SENATOR ENZI Senator ENZI. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It is always good to have you back, and it’s a great day for a hearing. I would like to begin by thanking you for holding this hearing today, and I have previously said confirming the President’s nomi- nees is one of the most important constitutional duties of the Sen- ate. I know that the members of the committee take the ‘‘Advise and Consent’’ clause of the Constitution

Ninety-two women were initially sworn in to the 112th Congress, two women Democratic House Members have since resigned, and four others have been elected. This number (94) is lower than the record number of 95 women who were initially elected to the 111th Congress. The first woman elected to Congress was Representative Jeannette Rankin (R-MT, 1917-1919, 1941-1943). The first woman to serve in the Senate was Rebecca Latimer Felton (D-GA). She was appointed in 1922 and served for only one day. A total of 278 women have served in Congress, 178 Democrats and 100 Republicans. Of these women, 239 (153 Democrats, 86 Republicans) have served only in the House of Representatives; 31 (19 Democrats, 12 Republicans) have served only in the Senate; and 8 (6 Democrats, 2 Republicans) have served in both houses. These figures include one non-voting Delegate each from Guam, Hawaii, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Currently serving Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) holds the record for length of service by a woman in Congress with 35 years (10 of which were spent in the House).

Women and Women in Politics Power Cathleen Douglas Stone Are women making progress in the political arena, or are theirfrustrations at access to elective office severe enough to warrant their own political party? This article examines the statistics and argues that women should seize political power by voting as a bloc. As loyalty to traditional parties declines while their interest in and sensitivity to social issues grows, the moment is rightfor a real increase in women 's political power. Frequently cocktail conversation around the Stone house these days revolves around the question "Do women have 'real' power?" Leaving aside for the moment our inability to define "real" power with clarity, the question is an interesting one. Many of the public policy options that would bring economic benefit to women must be developed and funded by those holding elective and senior appointive office.
