Thus, we strongly support the bipartisan Air Carrier Access Amendments Act, H.R. 1549, which was introduced in March 2019 by Representative Jim Langevin.

today I am reintroducing the Cybersecurity Disclosure Act along with two members of the Select Committee on Intelligence, Senator Collins, and the ranking member, Senator Warner, in addition to Senator Kennedy and Senator Jones, who also…

I ask unanimous consent that Senators Leahy, Klobuchar, King, and Tester be recognized in the next 40 minutes or so for a colloquy with me. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

I thank Senator Tester. I will turn to the Rhode Islander who was in that early bipartisan effort to understand and address climate change. Senator John Chafee's history of service to his State and country was remarkable. He saw bloody…

I will close out this colloquy by pointing out that the Republicans of 2007, 2008, and 2009 who were working on climate legislation before the Citizens United decision have left or died or gone to ground. It is sad to see. These…

I thank the distinguished Senator from Vermont, who is not only a towering physical presence on the floor of the Senate but a towering historic presence on this floor, as well, and brings a rare and valuable perspective. I appreciate his…

These six U.S. Senators were troubled by testimony they had heard about climate change in three separate hearings of the Senate's Environment and Public Works Committee. They wrote: The testimony convincingly portrayed a fundamentally…

it was 1986, a third of a century ago. Six U.S. Senators wrote a letter to the Office of Technology Assessment, the office then charged with providing technical and scientific advice to Congress. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that…

let me thank Senator Klobuchar for her wonderful remarks, and of course Minnesota is a Northern State which sees this up close all the time. The Senator spoke of bipartisanship. Do you know who voted with Senator Chafee for the Clean Air…

We have a gun violence epidemic in this country. For 8 years, we have marked it with moments of silence and doing nothing, saying nothing and doing nothing. But today, that changes with passage of H.R. 8 for universal background checks. We…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. We are on the precipice of passing the first commonsense gun safety bill in this Congress in 25 years. I have been here for 8 years. We begged and pleaded and had a sit-in to try to force Republicans to…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding, and I rise in strong support of the rule and resolution to rescind the President's unnecessary and unconstitutional national emergency declaration. Mr. Speaker, having visited the southern border…

I am honored to follow the distinguished ranking member on our Environment and Public Works Committee and one of the coauthors of the Waxman-Markey bill--the one significant piece of climate legislation that has passed a House of…

Congress, and in particular this committee, has a key oversight role to hold this administration to account.

The administration's reckless approach and carelessness in damaging our alliances, in my view, is making America less safe.

They seem to have little time for what have been real cornerstones of American foreign policy that you have written a lot about, democracy and human rights.

It is alarming how this administration seems to conduct foreign policy in a values-free vacuum.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I want to thank you for holding this important hearing.
