Senator Schumer and I do not agree on everything, to say the least, but we did come up with an agreement on this issue.

I rise to speak on Puerto Rico's financial and economic challenges. The Government of Puerto Rico tells us the territory has more than $73 billion in debt that is, to use their words, ``not payable.'' On top of that, Puerto Rico has tens…

I ask unanimous consent that I be permitted to finish my remarks. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. ____________________

I appreciate my friend and colleague from Florida. I too understand that he understands a lot about this. Look, bankruptcy laws do not apply. That doesn't mean we can't change that. I am not sure that is the way to do it. We are going to…

I think this is really new stuff and pretty ominous.

I rise to speak once again on the topic of religious liberty. This is the sixth in a series of addresses I have given on this critical subject. In my previous remarks, I have discussed why religious liberty matters and why it deserves…
