The task force report lacks the rigorous analysis of issues that traditionally accompanies regulatory requirements proposed by the NRC.

Let me finish, if I may. I will yield to the Senator in a moment. The fact is, we will not tell the truth to the American people. The first truth is, if we will be honest with them, they will understand the necessities that will have to be…

Mr. President, I have been listening in my office for the last several hours to the debate. I think there is one thing that has not been brought out in the debate. When Washington says it is going to cut spending, it is untruthful with the…

I don't disagree that those negotiations are going on as we speak. I am not a party to them. I don't know if the Senator from Massachusetts is. I suspect the Presiding Officer is. We are not going to decide that. That will come to us for a…

Mr. President, Let me reclaim my time. There are absolutely no cuts in what either Senator Reid or Speaker Boehner proposed in discretionary spending. The spending will rise $832 billion over the next 10 years in the discretionary…

Mr. President, there is a simple reason we are all talking about the debt limit increase. It is the fact that this President has spent more money than I ever believed would be possible. So far, he has spent over $10 trillion in 3 years…

Mr. President, there is a terrorist visiting with the President right now. I will elaborate. So many people are looking the other way and don't know what is going on in Africa. I have been on this floor nine different times talking about…

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that I be recognized for whatever time I shall consume as in morning business. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, H.R. 2548, introduced by the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Schock), would designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 6310 North University Street in Peoria…

Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 2062) to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 45 Meetinghouse Lane in Sagamore Beach, Massachusetts, as the ``Matthew A. Pucino Post…

Now we're at a point where we are about to, once again, raise the debt ceiling and to do it in a responsible way, in a way that I predict, frankly, will probably become the pattern in the future. This body should never raise the debt…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Every now and then, Mr. Speaker, you need to just step back and look at the record and put the rhetoric aside. When this majority showed up in January of this last year, we found a situation where our…

I thank the gentleman for yielding, and I rise to support the rule and the underlying legislation. Mr. Speaker, this is the second time that this Congress has chosen-- this House--has chosen to raise the debt ceiling in a responsible and…

If the majority leader's plan scores at $2.2 trillion--and I take my friend's word on that--I guess we really have a $4 trillion deficit, because we have $3 trillion, and we don't even count the extra $1 trillion, which is automatic…

I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, H.R. 2149, introduced by the gentlelady by Hawaii (Ms. Hanabusa), would designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 4354 Pahoa Avenue in Honolulu, Hawaii, as…

I ask unanimous consent that all Members may have 5 legislative days within which to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous material on the bill under consideration. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the…

Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 2149) to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 4354 Pahoa Avenue in Honolulu, Hawaii, as the ``Cecil L. Heftel Post Office Building''. The…

I join with the gentleman to urge all Members to pass H.R. 2062, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Oklahoma (Mr. Lankford) that the House suspend…
