I want to start out by saying I ran a small business for 25 years before entering Congress, and I always carried health insurance on my employees. But the required coverages under ObamaCare are far in excess of the coverage I ever carried…

I thank Senator Chambliss. I believe Senator Reed wishes to be recognized for a request. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Rhode Island.

I can't thank Senator Isakson enough. Senator Scott has been with us at every step. But I want to let everybody in Georgia know that when it comes to the Savannah River site, we have worked as a team for years, and I just can't thank the…

This is about Dr. Ernie Moniz's appointment to be Secretary of Energy. I put a hold on Dr. Moniz. It has nothing to do with him. He is a wonderful fellow. He is an MIT professor. He has been amply associated with the Department of Energy…

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to engage in a colloquy with my colleagues from Georgia. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

Just to conclude, I wish to thank both of my colleagues. They have been great partners on this issue and many others. We have tried to be good partners with the Federal Government. We are proud of the Savannah River site and all that has…

This may be the 37th time that the House has taken up the repeal of ObamaCare, but this is my first time; and I and the constituents that sent me here want my vote recorded to repeal this poorly crafted, job-killing law. Last week…

Mr. President, I would just like to echo what Senator McCain said about Senator Menendez. I would like to, for the record, note that the tide of war in Syria changed today because of what is happening on the floor of the Senate. That may…

I thank the Senator for his question. It was one of the most compelling trips I have ever made to the Middle East. We went to Turkey, Jordan, and we went to a refugee camp in Jordan. Some 40,000 Syrian children are now in Jordanian…

That would be a big contradiction. I will just yield to Senator Levin to answer the question and make his opening statement.

I thank the gentleman for yielding me the time. Mr. Speaker, I want to commend my colleague, Congressman Garamendi, for his leadership on this very important issue. Just a few minutes ago, we received some breaking news: the stock market…

On Friday, I was grateful to conduct a town hall in Aiken, South Carolina, where I listened to hundreds of constituents who are very concerned about the reprogramming request at the Savannah River site. Fortunately, over the weekend, the…
