I want to strike a bipartisan note and invoke a Republican President who made America truly great, Abraham Lincoln, who served in this body and spoke of government of the people, by the people, and for the people--all the people. In 1964…

I thank the gentleman for his comment. We have had this discussion on a number of occasions. I am convinced that Mr. McGovern, the chairman of the Rules Committee, does, in fact, want to have the kind of process that we talked about and…

If you put patients before politics, you will vote for this bill because patients care about prescription drugs, but they also care about access to affordable, quality healthcare. Now, you sent a bill to the President--or you didn't really…

Mr. President, I am going to take this time to speak about Russia. But if I might, following up on the point by the Senator from Alaska, first, I want to applaud the police officer you are honoring this week. This is National Police Week…
