as Chairman and Ranking Member of the Senate Finance Committee, Senator Wyden and I introduce S. 2775, the Technical Corrections Act of 2016, which, if enacted, will make technical and clerical corrections to the PATH Act, the major tax…

It's a pleasure to welcome everyone to today's hearing, which we've titled 'Cybersecurity and Protecting Taxpayer Information.'

I urge the Congress to approve this proposal.

If the government is going to assist young people to attend college and to read Shakespeare, I think it should also provide assistance to students of all ages, who want to attend technical school.

I believe this imbalance is not only unfair, it is economically misguided.

So there is a lot at stake if we do not reform it. If we do not do that we could stand to lose it.

I will also continue to press for the development and creation of true economic growth opportunities, like those I referenced earlier.

I wish to call the attention of my colleagues to the 227th anniversary of Congress' first quorum, which the House of Representatives achieved on April 1, 1789, and which the Senate achieved 5 days later. In the first week of April, the…

I rise once again to address the Supreme Court vacancy created by the untimely death of Justice Antonin Scalia. The Constitution gives the nomination power to the President and gives the advice and consent power to the Senate but does not…

That is correct. We expect the provision will be used in instances such as when a trade secret misappropriator is seeking to flee the country or planning to disclose a trade secret immediately.

I thank my colleague and longtime friend from Iowa, Senator Chuck Grassley, for the question. Indeed, the Defend Trade Secrets Act provides a trade secret owner with a right of action to go to court ex parte to have the trade secret seized…

During rollcall vote No. 137, I was unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``no.'' ____________________

In the tumult of a Presidential election, a lot of important and newsworthy events don't get enough attention. One such event last week was the Czech Republic's release of Ali Fayyad, a dangerous Hezbollah terrorist who was indicted in…

There's a contest between Trumpism and Republicanism. Through the calculated statements of the leader, Trumpism has become associated with racism, misogyny, bigotry, xenophobia, vulgarity and most recently threats and violence. I am…

I am trying to assess the financial and economic challenges facing Puerto Rico, an issue I have been speaking about since last summer. In fact, it was July of last year when I first wrote to Treasury Secretary Lew, expressing my concern…
