the American Legion, the Nation's largest wartime veterans service organization, is celebrating its centennial this year. I rise today to recognize this milestone. For the past 100 years, the American Legion has been a leading advocate for…

I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to the immediate consideration of S. Res. 103, submitted earlier today. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the resolution by title. The bill clerk read as follows: A resolution (S…

I have no further speakers on this side of the aisle. Mr. Speaker, in closing, I would just simply urge, with the work done by Mr. Foster and myself, and with thanks to the Chair, that we have strong bipartisan support in favor of H.R…

I will say again it is a flawed and broken process. It needs to change. We need budget process reform.
