Mr. President, today I wish to say a few words about the bill that we are currently considering and, in particular, a very worthwhile program funded by this bill that I believe is critical to moving our Nation forward. One very important…
I am here to speak in favor of the entire appropriations legislation that is before us, but particularly the Commerce, Justice, and Science appropriations bill. I thank Senator Mikulski for her leadership, and all of the members of that…
Mr. President, I have a motion to recommit with instructions with respect to H.R. 2112. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report. The assistant legislative clerk read as follows: The Senator from Utah [Mr. Lee] moves to recommit the…

Woman, it seems that hardly a day goes by in this Chamber when the Republican majority fails to create jobs, endangers public health, and deep sixes the environment, and today is no different. Coal plants are usually accompanied by coal…
Thank you. What I'd like to say is that, given that we know that in poor minority populations they have the worst health outcomes by any measure and coal ash impoundments are disproportionately located in low-income communities that are…
I ask unanimous consent to revise and extend my remarks in opposition to this bill that doesn't create jobs but strips women of appropriate reproductive health care services. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of…
With 21 legislative days remaining on the calendar, I urge my colleagues in the Majority to finally bring to the floor a jobs bill that puts Americans back to work rather than work to restrict a woman's right to receive affordable and…
Madam President, I would like to recognize and express my support of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's, USPTO, National Trademark Expo. Trademarks are characteristics of a good or service such as a name, symbol, or sound that identify…
I thank the gentleman for yielding. Madam Speaker, this is a difficult time in the life of our Nation-- 9.1 percent unemployment nationally, and millions of Americans families are hurting. And the American people are looking to Washington…
Mr. President, I support all three pending free trade agreements, FTAs. They will be good for our country and good for Virginia. They will create jobs by opening markets for high quality American products. Trade with Korea was worth $379…
I thank the gentleman from Michigan. Today I am pleased to see that Congress is finally focused on America's top priority, jobs. As economic experts from across the ideological spectrum have made clear, these trade agreements with Panama…
Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. (The remarks of Mr. Manchin are printed in today's Record under ``Morning Business.'') The…
Mr. President, only a few people in your lifetime stand out as people of the highest caliber, people who truly care about making the world a better place not only for the present generation but also for the next generation and many…
