I don't believe we have any more, but I still have 8 minutes, so I am going to share a few comments. Mr. Speaker, I want to say a couple of things. When I chaired the Energy and Commerce Committee, we did try to do some reforms on…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Income inequality is challenging our communities and our future. In northwest Oregon and across the country, the labor movement has helped fight income inequality, raise wages, improve working…

I thank Chairman Scott for his leadership. I urge my colleagues to support this bill.

I appreciate the gentlewoman's courtesy in permitting me to speak on this bill. I feel very strongly about this. The United States Postal Service moves almost half the world's mail. It is the most popular Federal agency, highest ratings…

Madam President, as Senators, our decisions build the foundation for future generations. I want those generations to know that I stood here on the floor of this Chamber fighting for equal justice under law. I stood here to defend our…

For the past 2 weeks, the President's defense team has spun bizarre legal arguments, conspiracy theories, and flatout lies that are unbecoming of the Office of the President of the United States. The country knows the facts. The President…

Mr. Chief Justice, I send a question to the desk for the House floor managers. The CHIEF JUSTICE. Thank you. The question from Senator Wyden for the House managers: The Intelligence Community is prohibited from requesting that a foreign…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. My service in the House has been marked by a loss of Congress' power to deal with war and peace. I am proud to stand with my friend, Congresswoman Lee, as I did with her in her 2002 amendment…

We have one more speaker who is making her way here, and so I reserve the balance of my time.

How much time does each side have remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Oregon has 3\3/4\ minutes remaining. The time of the gentlewoman from New Hampshire has expired.

We have several more people who would like to speak on this. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Carter), the lone pharmacist in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Thank you, Mr. Chief Justice. On behalf of the Senator from New Mexico, Martin Heinrich, and myself, I have a question to send to the desk. The CHIEF JUSTICE. The question from Senator Merkley and other Senators is for counsel to the…

Mr. President, I want to take a few minutes today to honor Cary Jones, an Oregonian retiring after a long career in the Coast Guard and the Department of Veterans Affairs. The bottom line is Mr. Jones has embraced and embodied the essence…
