I rise today to speak about a very important issue not only for my home State but for our country, and that is the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, also referred to as the USMCA. This is the agreement that would replace NAFTA. It…

I thank the Senator from Colorado. Again, the message is clear: We need to pass USMCA, and we urge our colleagues not only in this Chamber but in the House to do that and get this done for our country, across all sectors of our economy…

I would like to thank the Senator from Indiana. Like our State, it is a major ag State. It also has manufacturing and many other areas. The USMCA is very important to the State of Indiana. I thank the good Senator for his comments today. I…

Thank you Mr. Chair. So Mr. Andeer, the 30 percent markup on apps, that's been the same since the company started, since the app started, right?

I ask unanimous consent to speak for 5 minutes on the NDAA. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. S. 1790

We're talking about something that is going on every day constantly.

Senator Gillibrand, in her role as Senator and not as a candidate for President, has introduced legislation to eliminate pesticides from school lunch programs, demonstrating her misunderstanding of science and production agriculture.

Senator Gillibrand compared pro-life views with racism, this represents a morally vacant position not fitting of a United States Senator.

I'm sure introducing legislation that gives more free stuff to more people has nothing to do with her Presidential campaign.

Bribing people to vote for you for President is a bad way to legislate as a Senator.

So there's never been public comment period on this.

I rise today to emphasize the importance of this year's National Defense Authorization Act--both why it is important and what we must accomplish this week while we are still here. The primary obligation of Congress is to provide for the…
