in 1948, in the wake of two World Wars that caused death, destruction and atrocities on a massive and unprecedented scale, the world came together at the nascent United Nations to establish the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. These…

Bernie Sanders who is here to give his take on that new thunderdome we witnessed in the Oval Office today. And he is making a move to change the relationship with Saudi Arabia.

Well, I think the President, sadly enough, has a great fondness for authoritarian-type leaders around the world, whether it's Putin in Russia or Mohammed bin Salman in Saudi Arabia, or other authoritarian leaders.

We have got to rethink our relationship to the Saudi government in general.

I think the murder of Khashoggi has given the Congress and the entire world a glimpse into the despotic and brutal regime that now has power in Saudi Arabia.

It is the Congress, not the president, not a Republican president or a Democratic president, who has war-making responsibility.

What MBS did and what the Saudis did to Jamal Khashoggi is unspeakable and an absolute disgrace.

The resolution that I authored along with Senator Mike Lee and Senator Chris Murphy... basically says that the United States has got to end its participation in this horrible, destructive war led by Saudi Arabia.

Thank you. Mr. President, later this afternoon, I believe, we will be voting on one of the more important foreign policy issues that we have voted on in a very long time. This, of course, deals with the U.S. involvement in the war in…

I ask unanimous consent that my remarks begin at this point and not a minute or so ago. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Nomination of Thomas Farr

as we all know, we have a constitutional obligation as U.S. Senators to provide advice and consent to a President's nominee. That is not advice and rubberstamp; it is advice and informed consent. I do my best to scrutinize each nominee on…

I ask unanimous consent that the time of further quorum calls be equally divided between the two leaders. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

let me thank Senator Lee for his leadership on this resolution. At a time when many bemoan the lack of bipartisanship, we are seeing it here--people coming together around an issue of enormous concern. I want to thank Senator Lee and…

pursuant to section 1013 of the Department of State Authorization Act, fiscal years 1984 and 1985, and in accordance with the provisions of Section 601(b) of the International Security Assistance and Arms Export Control Act of 1976, I move…
