Madam President, while the Senator from Texas is still on the floor, he knows I have a lot of respect and affection for him, and I am delighted to serve with him here and also to serve with him on the Finance Committee. I appreciate…
Madam President, I am proud to support Chuck Hagel for Secretary of Defense. If Chuck can make it through the jungles of Vietnam, he can surely make it through the bureaucracy of the Pentagon. America needs Chuck as its Secretary of…
One very quick question, if I may, to the Senator from North Dakota. There might be a fallacy of thinking that only oil that is going to move is what we would buy from Canada. How much oil would be moved from the United States that we…

Mr. President, few Americans have helped this great country reach for the stars more than Gen. Chuck Yeager. Long before there were astronauts there was Chuck Yeager, a fearless test pilot, a true aviation pioneer paving the way for…
Mr. President, I rise today to pay tribute to a special class of people who are critical to the success of any U.S. Senator. During the recent Super Bowl game, one advertisement stood out among all the others. It was an advertisement based…
Mr. President, I thank Senator Collins very much for her kind words. I know we both care a great deal about this situation we are in, as I think most of the Members of the body do. What is so frustrating is that it is avoidable. This is…
Mr. President, I thank the Senator from Maine for laying out what we are seeing in terms of the potential impact of those automatic cuts. The comments and the statistics the Senator from Maine had about China and what they are going to be…
Mr. President, Senator Collins and I are here because we agree we must take action in this body and in this Congress to avoid sequestration. Sequestration is a term we have all been throwing around, and it refers to the automatic cuts that…
Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to enter into a colloquy with my colleague, the Senator from Maine, Ms. Collins. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
A report will air tonight on ``ABC News'' about the Obama administration's negligence of the Fort Hood survivors and their families. This was clearly a terrorist attack. And while the Obama administration has designated that attack that…
Madam President, today I would like to address a provision of the Violence Against Women Act, S. 47, that is of great concern. Title IX of VAWA provides tribal courts with special jurisdiction over non-Indians who are charged with crimes…
I move to lay that motion on the table. The motion to lay upon the table was agreed to. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Vermont. Amendment No. 10
Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Committee on Armed Services be authorized to meet during the session of the Senate on February 7, 2013, at 10:00 a.m. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Committee on…
