Mr. President, I rise in opposition to this resolution. First, this resolution obscures the facts and alleges that American troops are involved in hostilities in Syria. American troops have remained in Syria across multiple administrations…

The EPA is forcing electric vehicles upon Americans by using a tailpipe emissions rule designed to phase out vehicles with internal combustion engines. In so doing, the EPA imposes an unwise restrictive policy and eliminates consumer…

Our Nation's security is at risk. This is due to the Biden administration's failure to secure our southern border. Since he took office, over 6.4 million illegal immigrants have entered our country from the South. There are at least 279 on…

Mr. President, reserving the right to object, Americans deserve a transparent, affordable, and accessible prescription drug market. I agree with the concerns that each of my colleagues have raised here tonight. The current system fails to…

I would. I would agree. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Prescription Drugs

Under the leadership of President Biden, the world is in chaos. Failures in Afghanistan, the escalation in Russia, embrace of Iran, and kowtowing to the Chinese are all examples of his foreign policy legacy on this world. When President…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. ___. None of the funds made…

I point out that the amount of federally controlled lands is nowhere equal across our country. In Idaho, it is 32.8 million acres, and, to my good friend from Maine, it is 301,000. You can't possibly contemplate the ramifications that has…

The National Environmental Policy Act, NEPA, was created to balance environmental protection with our need to build infrastructure. The NEPA process was once timely and concise, but over time NEPA has become a four-letter word associated…

Mr. President, I rise in opposition to this nomination, and I rise in support of our strong support for Israel. I understand it is important to move as quickly as we can to have an ambassador in Jerusalem. We are at an important moment in…

Mr. President, very briefly to respond to my good friend from Kentucky, first of all, we are not conducting drone strikes out of Niger. We have not. We are not. We will not. As far as the four troops who were killed in 2017, the good…

Mr. President, I rise in opposition to my friend's motion to discharge this from our committee. Let me start where he left off. He is asking that we remove our troops from hostilities in Niger. Let me say this as clearly as I can: We have…

I thank my colleague for yielding. This is an important week when it comes to the vehicles that we have and the access to those vehicles. To that end, I rise in support of an upcoming bill, H.R. 1435, Preserving Choice in Vehicle Purchases…
