Mr. Chair, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Turner), my friend and colleague.

Mr. Speaker, I would say to my friend who just spoke, if he wants to do something for Alzheimer's, don't pass the Senate Republican healthcare bill. It would devastate Medicaid and Alzheimer's victims who rely on Medicaid service. Ensuring…

Federal Indian policy involves an arcane mix of law and history of which few members of the Subcommittee, much less most other Members of the 115th Congress, are fully conversant regarding many of the details that have potentially…

We should do all we can to ensure that Montenegro's accession to NATO sends a clear signal to other countries in the region, that NATO maintains its open door policy so that other countries can aspire to NATO membership without the fear of…

from my own Senator, Tim Kaine, the vice presidential candidate in that race to be throwing words around like treason, he's a lawyer, he should know better. Treason is when you help the enemy, not when other people help you and that…

I think that is absolutely the wrong signal to be sending at the worst possible time.

I think it is very important that we continue to, as the Senate Armed Services Committee, raise the concerns about what is happening in the Balkans and Russia's intent in going after Western democracies.

Fortunately, the United States Senate has stepped up to provide leadership on this issue.

President Trump's recent meeting with President Putin at the G20 was another missed opportunity to deliver a clear message to the Kremlin that its attacks on our democracy are unacceptable and will not be tolerated.

This will only encourage further reckless Kremlin adventurism toward its neighboring states and efforts to claim a great power role in the Middle East and elsewhere.

Unfortunately, despite mounting evidence, the White House fails to recognize the seriousness of the national security threat posed by Russia's malign influence activities.

We have a duty to confront Russia over its malign activities to protect our national security.

I believe it is critical that all Americans understand what happened in Montenegro and its implications for our security.

Spending money better on job training--what a great idea, but cutting job training by 40 percent--what a bad idea.

The average size of the bargaining unit was 26. Do you know what the average bargaining unit size was last year?
