I think my colleague's point has been seen in history, before he and I were even born. We had a President put forth a noble ambition to make the Moon not a dream but a destination. What he did was he set in motion, by charting a course for…

The Senator has it. But before I get to my Senate colleague from Rhode Island, allow me for a moment to answer the question of my colleague because I am grateful that he asked me about what is happening in New Jersey. We know this, that no…

No. I am reminded that Morgan Freeman or the main character of the movie wanted to get a library for the prison. Frankly, their strategy was every single day they sent a letter. The reason why I have great respect for the Senator from…

I am grateful to the Senator from New Mexico for giving me this opportunity to say a word about my State. To keep the conversation going, if the Senator from Rhode Island would indulge me in answering that question, but I would like to get…

I appreciate that from the Senator from Rhode Island. I have only been in the Senate for about 4 months. As soon as I made a decision to run for this office, I asked for national security briefings to study hot points in our country. I…

Mr. President, parliamentary inquiry. I understand the Republican side yielded back their time. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator is correct. The time in opposition is yielded back.

I'd like to thank Ms. Ros- Lehtinen and Mr. Deutch for sponsoring this expertly-crafted and timely legislation. It is also a substantive bill. It expands our relationship with our closest ally by supporting the Iron Dome, David's Sling…

They are simply about preserving congressional intent and providing clear rules of the road, both for tax-exempt groups and the IRS, about what exactly is political activity so they know what is permissible under the law. This isn't about…

I sincerely have the greatest respect for the good doctor. I think he is a reasonable man and a good person, but when you are explaining, you are losing. I rise in strong opposition to this legislation. After we learned last year about the…
