Madam President, I have 11 requests for committees to meet during today's session of the Senate. They have the approval of the Majority and Minority Leaders. Pursuant to rule XXVI, paragraph 5(a), of the Standing Rules of the Senate, the…

Mr. President, I am looking at the language of the amendment. On page 4, subparagraph (D), which is entitled ``Verification of Resources,'' reads--I will read part of this. It says: As a condition on entering into an agreement under…

Madam President, before I begin my floor remarks, let me just ask unanimous consent that several individuals who serve in my personal office and on the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works majority staff be granted privileges…

I don't think I have got this wrong. I may be mistaken, but I don't think so. I would just say, again, Senator Lee's proposal appears to be modeling on a program at the Department of Transportation that allows States--and I underline…

Mr. President, I don't rise every day to oppose amendments offered by Senator Lee. I am afraid I am going to have to oppose this one for a couple of reasons. One, as the chairman of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works and…

Mr. President, I rise today to highlight the importance of supporting the brave men and women who protect us every day in all 50 States. As I laid out on this floor last month, the fires that we face are getting worse, not better. Every…

Madam President, I believe I have 15 minutes to speak. The PRESIDING OFFICER. There is not an order for time.

Madam President, I think we have another Senator from West Virginia that is ready to speak over here. I want to just close with this. The U.S. Department of Agriculture stands ready to work with farmers and ranchers to assist them with…

Mr. President, I rise today to speak on a topic I have been dreading for months, the departure from my office of my senior adviser and close friend, Jeff Sanchez. After 4 years of dedicated, tireless, outstanding service to me, the people…

I appreciate your continued work to implement the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which is benefiting the State of every Senator.

I am frankly thrilled that you are leading this department at this critical time.
