Mr. President, I have 7 requests for committees to meet during today's session of the Senate. They have the approval of the Majority and Minority leaders. Pursuant to rule XXVI, paragraph 5(a), of the Standing Rules of the Senate, the…

If I am a customer or a user of Facebook and I don't want that information to be shared, how do I keep that from happening?

As a business owner, I have a demographic that I go after, and I search advertisers that market to that demographic.

I just want to commend you on your ability to not just invent something but to see it through its growth.

In Texas, you know more about that, you have more of them. In Oklahoma, we have tornadoes, not hurricanes, but it is the same thing. We have experienced it and know how to react to them. I think that needs to be talked about.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of the FY2018 Agreement that will fund our government for the remainder of the fiscal year. The agreement is consistent with the direction given by House Republican Leadership under the bipartisan…
