In the midst of this chaos, the Castro-Huerta decision has been a beacon of hope for Native American victims of crime.

I am proud to lend my voice to the Native American victims that I was elected to represent.

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 397, nays 29, not voting 6, as follows: [Roll No. 426] YEAS--397 Adams Aderholt Aguilar Allen Amodei…

I think it is important for the American public to hear what is going on in this Committee hearing today.

I would like to share a few words today to honor the life and service of Private John Shaughnessy, a first- class Montanan and World War I veteran. A native son of the Treasure State, John was born and raised in Missoula. His father, John…

my amendment would strike the anti-energy provisions that snuck into this bill behind closed doors. This partisan bill before us has a slew of provisions that raises royalty rates, fees, rents, and taxes that hurt our small oil and gas…

I ask unanimous consent that the following amendments be considered as one amendment, No. 5487: No. 5425, Mr. Daines; No. 5361, Ms. Ernst; No. 5360, Mrs. Fischer; No. 5224, Mr. Portman; No. 5411, Mr. Barrasso; and No. 5454, Ms. Murkowski…

this amendment is actually quite simple. It is to make sure that we have a comprehensive plan in place before title 42 is lifted. Very straightforward. This is not whether title 42 should ever be lifted or not; rather, it is about making…

I call up amendment No. 5480, and I ask that it be reported by number. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will report. The senior assistant legislative clerk read as follows: The Senator from Montana [Mr. Tester] proposes…

86 to 11. 86 to 11. We have been fighting for this for decades--for decades. And I will tell you that the last few days have not been particularly easy for me, and they have been even more difficult for the veterans around this Nation who…

I stand in front of this body, yet again, to urge the passage of the Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring Our PACT Act. Before I get into my remarks, Senator Moran is on the floor, and I listened to a good portion of what he had to…

15 years ago, when I was appointed to the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee, I had a Vietnam veteran come up to me and say: ``You are not going to treat this generation of veterans like you have treated us.'' This bill rights that and…

The Blackburn amendment would provide automatic eligibility to community care for any toxic-exposed veteran for any condition. However, I want to make it clear that if a veteran should ever need care the VA cannot provide, they are…
