Mr. President, just a few minutes ago the Senator from Texas, my friend John Cornyn, came to the floor and spoke about immigration and the situation on our border. It was a very moving statement that he has made before and needs to make…

In Afghanistan, the people overwhelmingly want us to stay, and every single contender in the Presidential election said they would sign the BSA.

But I did vote for Afghanistan. That is where Bin Laden was. That is where al-Qaeda was.

Mr. Speaker, so it is only well and fitting, as a tribute to this remarkable man's life, Congress names the facility after the very leader who was its inspiration and who was a lifesaver for so many. I am also saddened that we could not…
