I just heard my colleague from east Tennessee make those remarks, and I had to add something because it's typical of what happens up here. The people from east Tennessee forget about the fact that Memphis exists in Tennessee, and Dave Loos…

Mr. President, I rise to speak about the Gregg-Conrad amendment that I hope we will vote on later this evening or tomorrow. I know everybody in this body is concerned greatly about the long-term issues we have to deal with as relates to…

I will. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Missouri. Mrs. McCASKILL. Mr. President, I had no intention of speaking today, but this place has been a little strange over the last few months in terms of our ability to come together. When…

Mr. President, the Senator from Missouri and I have worked on a number of issues together. I so much appreciate her comments. While I certainly cannot speak to what the position may be of leadership of whatever party on this particular…

As the world watches the crisis, the tragedy in Haiti, many people are coming forth with charitable contributions to help different organizations that are sponsoring efforts, and it is commendable and wonderful. But what was discovered is…

At this point I ask everybody to vote unanimously in support of H.R. 3237 and pass it, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Cohen) that…
