Let me just take this opportunity to quote some of what he said in that December 7 New York Times article: Some 85,000 children may have already died here in Yemen, and 12 million more people may be on the brink of starvation, casualties…

I move to proceed to S.J. Res. 54. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is on agreeing to the motion to proceed.

I thank the gentleman, and I rise today in support of the farm bill conference report. It is absolutely no secret that rural America, our farming communities, from Franklin County and Addison County in Vermont to the plains of Kansas and…

it occurs to me that if Americans had any doubt that President Trump is fixated on wasting billions of tax dollars to wall off our 2,000-mile southern border, all they had to do was watch his jaw-dropping press conference yesterday in…

This legislation legalizes industrial hemp production, something that Vermonters have been advocating for for decades. This is going to be a boost for local agriculture in Vermont and other parts of our country. And beyond these, there are…

I come to the floor to talk about one of the great humanitarian crises facing our planet, and that is the horrific war in Yemen. In March of 2015, under the leadership of Muhammad bin Salman, who was then the Saudi Defense Minister and is…

I ask unanimous consent to use an oversized floor display. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Yemen War Powers Resolution

I extend my congratulations as well to Mr. Barton. It has been a pleasure working with you, sir. Thank you. Also, to Mr. Green, thank you very much for all your service. What an incredible career both of you have had. My colleagues have…
