I thank Madam Chair for yielding, and I thank Ranking Member Kay Granger for her work. Mr. Speaker, I had the opportunity to do a video, as we all are communicating with one another virtually, about my colleague and friend with whom I have…

Mr. President, the end of a Congress is a bittersweet time. We reflect with pride on our accomplishments but have a sense of wistfulness with respect to the things we have been unable to do. We look forward to the holidays, spending more…

Mr. President, will the Senator from Washington and the Distinguished Ranking Democrat on the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee yield for a colloquy on some issues related to the committee's substitute for S. 2800?

Will the Senator from Washington confirm that it is not the committee's intention or desire to force NASA to establish a university affiliated research center or to see either sections 818 or section 819 enacted without sufficient peer…

The Commerce Committee substitute, as proposed, contains three provisions that are cause for concern for my colleague and me. I would yield to my colleague from Maryland, a distinguished member of the Appropriations Subcommittee that funds…

I thank the Senator for her assurances and ask her, knowing that the future of this bill's fate in this Congress is uncertain, if she will agree that she will work with my colleague from Maryland and me to fix these provisions to our…

The Republican whip and I have been discussing where we are and to bring Members up to speed on what status we have for today and the next few days. Mr. Speaker, as everybody in the House knows, and America knows, as of midnight tonight…

I thank the gentleman. For the general Membership, I would urge them, however, to keep tonight free, tomorrow free, Sunday free, and such days thereafter as we may need--and I hope we do not need any of those days--so that we can, A, pass…

I want to notify all the Members, and we will certainly do that by email as well, that the negotiators who are trying to come to an agreement between the two parties, and the House and the Senate as well, are still working very hard to…

Mr. President, I rise to honor my colleague and good friend, Senator Tom Udall, who will be retiring from the Senate at the end of this Congress. Tom has been a forceful advocate for the people of New Mexico, a champion for all Americans…

I thank my colleague. First, section 702 references how NASA should select multi-institution consortia and university affiliated research centers, inserting Congress into an agency-specific process that is broadly governed by existing…

Mr. President, today I rise to honor my dear friend and colleague, Senator Doug Jones of Alabama. Doug Jones is fearless. He cuts against the grain, shrugging off critics to chart his own path rooted in deeply held principles of justice…

Mr. President, I rise to recognize an extraordinary member of my staff who retired from the Senate earlier this year, Karen Robb. For 15 years, Karen Robb served as a critical senior member of my staff, first in my House office and then in…

Mr. President, I rise to pay tribute to my friends and colleagues on the Republican side of the aisle who are departing the Senate at the conclusion of this Congress. Although we might not have always seen eye-to-eye on every issue, I am…

Mr. President, today I introduced the Progressive Consumption Tax Act of 2020. We need a tax code that is fair for American families and for employers. We need a tax code that rethinks how our Nation collects the revenue that allows us to…

I thank the gentleman from California (Mr. Huffman) for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise in favor of H.R. 970, and I salute my colleague, Congressman Brown, for his exemplary leadership on this issue. Mr. Speaker, I cannot find a single case…

I thank my friend for yielding, the Republican whip from the grand State of Louisiana. As the gentleman is aware as a result of his service in previous Congresses, when we get to the last days of the Congress, it is very difficult to…

I thank the gentleman. I don't have the facts, but, obviously, our position is if there are facts being raised that ought to be looked at, they ought to be looked at. But I don't have the facts, and I don't want to comment on the issue…
