under the unanimous consent, Senator Sullivan was up. I notice the leader is on the floor, and I am sure he would yield to the leader for his leadership purposes. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The majority leader. Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President…

I am pleased to speak with Senator Donnelly about a momentous occasion for our beloved home State of Indiana--a celebration of our bicentennial. On December 11, 1816, President James Madison signed the Indiana Enabling Act, which allowed…

I want to use some of the last time that we have to honor a great Hoosier. I know others will have comments and, today, as we recognize Indiana's 200th birthday, it is also important to acknowledge the contribution of one of those who has…

I thank Mr. Rokita from the Fourth District for yielding and for putting together this Special Order on behalf of our State. You know, Indiana boasts two of America's Presidents and now eight Vice Presidents. We are the home of Hoosier…

I thank my colleague from Indiana. It is great to be here on the floor with my colleagues from the Indiana delegation as we celebrate our bicentennial in Indiana. I also find it an honor that we get to be one of the last groups here on the…

I just want to stand here in front of this House and this body to honor our Senator, Dan Coats, who served Indiana in so many different capacities. I actually have the privilege of representing his district, the Third District in northeast…

I thank the gentleman. In closing this out, Mr. Speaker, I would like to say that Indiana has produced no shortage of great statesmen, as we reflected on this last half hour, and Senator Dan Coats has indisputably joined their ranks after…

Reclaiming my time, a lot has been talked about already from Indiana's manufacturing prowess to our agricultural richness, to our own rich history. I want to focus just a little bit before yielding to my good friend, Mr. Messer, to talk a…

I thank the gentleman from Florida for those excellent words. I can't believe the last game he played at Purdue University was all that bad, but we will go back to the tapes and look. Either way, it is now part of our wonderful Hoosier…

I thank Mr. Carson for his words. You will recall he mentioned the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Here is a great picture of it, circa about, I would say, late 1980s, just part of our heritage that we will be sharing here over the next hour…

It is an honor to stand before the Chamber today and talk about one of my favorite subjects and one of the favorite subjects of all the speakers who are going to appear before this floor in the next hour. And that is the State of Indiana…

I thank the gentleman for his service. I look forward to working with him in the future. I thank him for honoring our great State and for his service to our country. Indiana has had a long and proud history, acting as a leader in many…

I thank the gentleman. I quickly want to turn our attention and yield to the gentleman from Indianapolis, Mr. Andre Carson. He represents Indiana's Seventh Congressional District. Like us all, he is a fierce advocate for the different…

Reclaiming my time, I appreciate the gentlewoman's leadership in the Fifth District and throughout Indiana. It is just another example of, frankly, how we believe our State is great. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Indiana (Mr…

Reclaiming my time, it is a great book, as my family knows as well, and excellent words from the gentleman from Indiana's Sixth Congressional District. Throughout this all, Indiana's Fourth Congressional District has more than done its…

When given the opportunity to say something nice about Dan Coats, I didn't want to pass it up. If I could give one word to describe U.S. Senator Dan Coats, it would be ``Hoosier.'' He is a person of grace and humility, hard work and humor…

I thank the gentleman for organizing today's celebration of Indiana's 200th birthday. I thank him for his distinguished little giant career at Wabash College and all of his service to our great State. It is an exciting time to be a Hoosier…

I am sorely disappointed that, despite the very best efforts of Chairman Rogers, Mrs. Lowey, and all of the members of our committee, we yet again find ourselves in the position of considering another continuing resolution. In June, on the…
