I am very interested in the prospect of advanced reactor concepts that hold the promise of being able to repurpose spent nuclear fuel.

Senators Barrasso, Inhofe, Crapo, Booker, and myself are the original co-sponsors.

In the Committee, we have cleared the Nuclear Innovation and Modernization Act, which is now running hotlines for passage on the Senate floor.

The resolution sets forth milestones which needed to be met and passed thanks to the leaderships of so many, including our Chairman Ed Royce, our Ranking Member Eliot Engel, and, of course, Kevin McCarthy and the Speaker, who ensured that…

Passing this bill today without a full understanding of these effects would be irresponsible. We have been able to engage in really deliberative, thoughtful consideration of criminal justice reform. This May we passed the FIRST STEP Act…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to H.R. 6691, the so-called Community Safety and Security Act. This legislation would dramatically expand the definition of a crime of violence in the Federal criminal…

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. This is a the moment when Judge Brett Kavanaugh refused to shake the hand of Fred Guttenberg, a man whose 14-year old daughter was murdered during a school shooting at Parkland, Florida earlier…

I ask for the yeas and nays. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second? There appears to be a sufficient second. The clerk will call the roll The bill clerk called the roll.

I thank the gentleman for yielding, and I would like to begin by thanking my colleague, the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Yoho), for his leadership on this very important issue. I am very proud to have helped shape this strong bill, and I…

I do not think you have the legal standing to invoke a national security tariff on Canada.

Everything you have said today indicates that you feel that Canada is not a threat to the national security of the United States.

When I go to Afghanistan, I have been there about 16 times, should I go up to one of those Canadian soldiers and say, 'Why are you not helping us because you are really impairing our national security?'

The worst thing for us would be to have that message trumpeted by figures in the United States.

I think the Russian approach is to constantly keep us upset, confused, et cetera.

Therefore, how can you use a Section 232 sanction against Canada, which is based on national security, in fact, something adverse for our national security? It makes no sense.

We should ensure that any policy toward Cuba does not readily offer major concessions to the Cuban Government.
