No question. As a matter of fact, we have actually demarched, in some ways, Saudi Arabia because we felt in some ways, using what we might call ``dumb bombs,'' that civilians were being killed in inappropriate ways. They have moved to…

It creates greater instability in a region that already has had tremendous amounts of it. But no question--I mean, it borders the Straits. Again, it puts more of that in Iranian hands, no question. Mr. McCAIN. Would it be accurate to state…

We have interdicted them several times. Mr. McCAIN. Is it true--would you estimate, given your knowledge of the issue, that if Saudi Arabia had not intervened in Yemen, it would now have become a client state and would have been taken over…

No question. Mr. McCAIN. It is true that weapons supplies from Iran have been intercepted?

Look, I was speaking earlier about this issue, which no one knows more about than the Senator from Arizona, but one of the basic national interests that we have in the Middle East is the balance of power. As you know well, people in our…

That is correct. Mr. McCAIN. Isn't it true that in all conflicts--one of the great tragedies of conflicts is that innocent civilians are slaughtered?

Madam President, I have respect for my friend from Kentucky. We have had numbers of conversations about this. I think he is aware that I am holding up, as chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, subsidies going to Pakistan in their…

Mr. President, section 36(b) of the Arms Export Control Act requires that Congress receive prior notification of certain proposed arms sales as defined by that statute. Upon such notification, the Congress has 30 calendar days during which…

Madam President, I think it would be wonderful to debate many of the things, at any time, that any Senator wishes to debate, but to use this as a proxy for something totally unrelated, to me, is a most unusual way of approaching the other…

Yes. No, I think it sends a signal. Look, I don't think anybody can debate--we have had these discussions in our Foreign Relations Committee. I know you have had them in Armed Services, where you are the distinguished chairman. I think…

That is correct. Mr. McCAIN. But isn't it also true that the Government of Saudi Arabia has not been implicated by these so-called 28 pages that were going to reveal the vast conspiracy that the Government of Saudi Arabia allegedly for…

Mr. President, if there is no further business to come before the Senate, I ask unanimous consent that it stand adjourned under the previous order. There being no objection, the Senate, at 6:31 p.m., adjourned until Thursday, September 22…

Mr. President, I rise today to lend my support and urge my colleagues to lend theirs to S.J. Res. 39, offered by my friend Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky. The purpose of this particular resolution is to reconsider the billion-dollar arms…

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that when the Senate completes its business today, it adjourn until 9:30 a.m., Thursday, September 22; that following the prayer and pledge, the morning hour be deemed expired, the Journal of…

I do rise today to support the Better On-line Ticket Sales Act, H.R. 5104, or as you have heard it called today, the BOTS Act. It is bipartisan legislation. Mr. Tonko of New York has done a tremendous job working on this with me. Together…

It is so exciting to have time to be in our district every day and work, listening to our constituents and hearing what is on their mind. I heard a lot about the lack of broadband expansion in rural America and, likewise, I heard a lot…

I am dressed in a seersucker suit. Most people from the South would recognize that, and traditionally people from the country and the South and the fashion industry would say you are not supposed to wear seersucker after Labor Day and…
