I am worried about their nuclear proliferation efforts with Iran.

What we have going on in Korea today in the 21st century, in 2015, is just unconscionable.

North Korea is a rogue regime.

Mr. Chair, I come to the floor today to express my support of H.R. 702, much-needed legislation which will lift the arbitrary ban on the export of one of our country's most abundant natural resources: crude oil. The current ban on exports…

I thank the Senator. Mr. President, the bill before us, the Energy and Water Development Appropriations Act of 2015, is an important bill, and I appreciate Senator Isakson's leadership in this matter. I hope this bill can be considered…

Mr. President, I want to take a moment to acknowledge the presence of our guest Chaplain today, Charles Smith, and his lovely wife Jennifer and his family members who have traveled from Madison, GA, and around Georgia to be here today as…

Mr. President, I rise reluctantly to acknowledge that I am going to vote in opposition to moving to cloture on this Energy and Water appropriations bill--reluctant because I have supported every single movement to go to the appropriations…

I believe this is a perfect opportunity to show the American people that we are listening and that we, too, are fed up with the out-of-control spending and the Washington bureaucracy ignoring the will of the people.

Overruns happen when scopes change. We all understand that. But when you see a continuous pattern, it does heighten the need for oversight in my opinion.

I want to assure, for the record, everyone here that we are all about the same objective, and that is this.

I applaud Senator Kaine for the way he has handled this and Senator Isakson in the past as well.
