I thank the Senator. I have no objection. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The Senator from New Hampshire.

Madam President, I ask unanimous consent to speak as in morning business for such time as I may consume, and that when I finish, the Senator from Ohio be recognized for 10 minutes. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so…

Just a question through the Chair to the majority leader. I had planned to make a statement on Judge Bacharach, and the Senator is saying we will have debate only. Will that preclude a unanimous consent for speaking as in morning business?

Madam President, reserving the right to object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Oklahoma.

Mr. President, first of all, something my friend from Vermont said a minute ago would surprise a lot of people, and that is we are friends. It is kind of strange. People don't understand being violently opposed to each other in this body…

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that at the conclusion of the remarks of my friend from Vermont, I be recognized as in morning business for such time as I will consume. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there objection? Without…

Mr. President, what the chairman said is this bill is paid for. I would put forward to the American public that if they went to Wendy's this afternoon and said: Give me a double cheeseburger; and, oh, by the way, over the next 10 years I…

Mr. President, I assume we are out of morning business. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senate is on the motion to proceed to S. 3414. Unanimous Consent Request--S. 3326

Mr. President, I have a unanimous consent request. I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to the immediate consideration of S. 3326; that the Coburn amendment at the desk be agreed to, the bill, as amended, be read a third time…

Mr. President, short memories are just that. In my opening statement in the Finance Committee on this bill, I made it very clear I opposed the pay-for in this bill. I had two amendments to offer. They were not offered because the chairman…

Mr. President, first of all, I would like to say I support all three of these measures, in terms of their passing. What I don't support is continuing the habit that has put this country $16 trillion in debt. To clarify, as a member of the…

While I can certainly, certainly empathize and have tremendous compassion for the families involved and for the individuals involved in this, OSHA has been working through this rule since 2009. It has been in the advanced rulemaking phase…

Mr. Speaker, I move that the House do now adjourn. The motion was agreed to; accordingly (at 10 o'clock and 1 minute p.m.), under its previous order, the House adjourned until tomorrow, Thursday, July 26, 2012, at 9 a.m…

This is what happens when the EPA makes a private agreement, overshoots a State agreement, and says we're going to go in and step in and take over: over $1 billion of additional costs to the ratepayers in Oklahoma, with no difference in…

Madam Chair, apparently the other side assumes most Americans are corrupt; they're corrupt people who cannot be trusted, and they must be babysat at each moment. Company leaders, company owners, many company employees, city and State…

How unfortunate to have the implication that Members of Congress, including myself--I have workers in my district who live with this same thing--would not have compassion for people in our districts. OSHA has not completed this regulation…

I thank my colleague for bringing this up, but this again is something that is obviously dealt with already in the text of the bill. As we anticipated, there would be issues like this. On page 3, line 23 of the bill, it actually states the…

Madam Chair, one quick statement. This particular rule is unique in a lot of our conversation because it's already gone through the process. Currently, the OIRA office has, in fact, had it for the last 30 days. They could issue this at any…
