I would also point out, actually, that the bill would regulate 5G. We had a vote in committee to prevent that from happening, and every Democrat on the committee voted to regulate 5G through this legislation and give the FCC that…

How much time do I have remaining? The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Oregon has 1\1/2\ minutes remaining.

I support the goal of this amendment in assessing the broadband marketplace and how the government can increase competition, lower prices, and improve the quality of service. This is a worthy subject for GAO to look into, and I think we…

Madam President, the Senate is just hours away from voting on whether to confirm David Bernhardt to head the Interior Department. He would replace Ryan Zinke, who was forced from office in the eye of an ethical hurricane. I am here tonight…

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the following individuals be granted floor privileges for the remainder of the Congress: Elliot Eichen, Marisa Morin, Pamela Reed, Katherine Rudell, Jackson Shawn-Hays, Sarah Harvey, Stephanie…

Mr. President, today I, along with my colleague Senator Booker of New Jersey, are introducing the Algorithmic Accountability Act. This bill is a critical first step to address the use of biased or discriminatory algorithmic decisions…

Mr. President, 30 years ago today, the Whistleblower Protection Act was signed into law. To call it a triumph doesn't do justice to the sheer number of years and people it took on both sides of the aisle to overcome numerous obstacles and…

I want to thank the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Burgess) for his work on this amendment, and the Democrats for accepting this very thoughtful approach. Americans are more and more concerned about the role that tech companies play in this…

It is my honor to yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. Scalise), the Republican whip of the House and a terrific member of our Energy and Commerce Committee.

I am now privileged to yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Latta), the ranking Republican on the Communications and Technology Subcommittee.

Again, I would say Republicans are for stopping any kind of action that throttles or blocks even paid prioritization on the internet. We share that common view of net neutrality. But I would remind my colleagues that the legislation before…

I would just like to say, when it comes to 5G, Republicans had an amendment to keep 5G from being regulated by 1930s law called title II. My friends on the other side of the aisle do not want to get into a big discussion about the huge…

I appreciate that from my good friend. If it were that easy to get that list, why didn't they get it for us from the Chairman of the FCC before we went through this whole process? We shouldn't have to vote on the bill to find out what is…

I want to thank Mr. Latta for bringing this very thoughtful amendment to the House floor, and I want to thank my colleagues on the other side of the aisle who, I believe, agreed to accept it, if I heard that correctly. The bill would…

Due to a prior commitment to speak at an event in my district that was set prior to the late change in the schedule by the Majority, I was unable to attend votes. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 157--H. Con…

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The Senator from Texas.

Mr. President, I am going to use my time on the Senate floor to address two related subjects. The Republican leader is reportedly on the verge of going nuclear to speed through the confirmation of more far-right nominees. He says Democrats…

Madam President, I would like to raise a few key points on this whole matter. First, this is a question of international trade, which is a subject that has been handled by the Senate Finance Committee for literally decades. The full…
