We are at war with radical Islam terrorism under ISIL, which we have just now discussed in great detail.

Madam President, I, too, would like to extend my condolences to the family in Colorado and to the Senators from Colorado for their loss. Return from Space of Commander Scott Kelly Madam President, I wish to call to the attention of the…
