U.S. State Attorneys General

I certainly applaud Senator Tester's work in leading this effort. It has been a long overdue increase of approximately $300 a month for DIC recipients.

I think we should go ahead with covering this. And, I am pretty much in line with our former Chair in saying that, you know, we should provide the health care that they need.

It took an act of Congress for that to happen. So, it looks as though we are going to need to have an act of Congress again.

I have talked to a lot of veterans, and it is hard enough to show that they do come within the parameters for treatment even without exposure to Agent Orange.

These are some of the thousands of Blue Water Navy Vietnam veterans who have applied for VA health benefits, but were denied because they happened to serve our country at sea rather than on land.

I am proud to join my colleagues and the veteran service organizations here today in support of the Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act.

Increasing the amount of DIC benefits payment will help survivors continue to live a sustainable life, which I wholeheartedly agree with.

Exactly. It is a continuation of the cruelty and the dehumanization of children.

I stand here today ultimately seeking justice for the American people and to end what our President has rightfully described as a witch hunt. For too long, our resources have been wasted on Robert Mueller's probe into Russian collusion in…

I think it is--I don't think it is a constructive course forward to roll back the fuel economy standards that have been planned.

I am particularly concerned with proposals to stop progress on fuel economy standards that can save drivers $8,000 over the lifetime of a new 2025 vehicle.

Earlier in this hearing there were references to the positive effects of the huge tax cuts for the richest one percent of people and corporations in our country.

I would consider to be within a couple of weeks. You should be able to get this answer to me very quickly.

I really wonder how a state like Hawaii that wants to get away from dependence on fossil fuels will be particularly helped, especially with the huge cuts.

I see it is as part of, basically, a radical effort, a desired goal, to shrink the Federal Government and limit its ability to help people solve the problems that face us all.

It seems like the other side of a monopoly is a monopsony, with limited number of buyers of labor.

I totally agree with you, Senator Alexander, that we have to strike while the iron is hot.

I want to thank my colleague, the Senator from Utah, Mr. Lee, for working with me on the act that we just passed. ____________________

I want to offer an invitation to Minnesota, and I want to tell you that I will guarantee that you will be treated with the utmost respect even if people have very different opinions than you hold.

I am actually quite a lot concerned that you indefinitely halted the implementation of HUD's Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing rule.

What we believe is that those who are in this country either exceeding their lawful authority or who do not come into this country legally in the first place should not be counted specifically for purposes of congressional apportionment.

This is National Police Week, and I join my colleagues in saluting all of our law enforcement personnel and our brave men and women who have put their lives on the line every single day to keep our communities safe.

I thank the gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. Higgins), my friend, for introducing this bill. I am bringing it forward as an opportunity to support safer communities and those who take on the responsibility and make the sacrifices to make our…

I thank the gentleman for supporting the bill. I yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. Higgins), my good friend.
