Mitch Landrieu

I would like to offer two amendments and have a moment to speak about two amendments that are germane. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator is recognized for that purpose. Amendment No. 3750

I will bring up for a brief discussion my amendment No. 3750. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report. The legislative clerk read as follows: The Senator from Louisiana [Ms. Landrieu] proposes an amendment numbered 3750.

this amendment is a 1-year grant of $8.5 million to the Port of New Orleans to mitigate the increased costs resulting from the loss of deep-draft navigation access to certain facilities and ports. This is part B of this amendment. We…

I believe that you ought to give neighbors the information that they need. What do the FEMA flood maps say? What kind of insurance can you get? What's your mortgage payment going to be? This is what the danger is in your area, given where…

I would like to speak to an amendment designed to clarify existing immigration law and ease the burden on families sent abroad in service to the United States. Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, there is normally a 3-year residence…

I thought it had been cleared to present an amendment and discuss it briefly and, at a later time, have a vote on the amendment. I send the amendment to the desk. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The amendment will be submitted for the Record.
