I just want you to know how important this is to agriculture across this country.

reserving the right to object, let me just make one correction for the record that my friend, the Democratic leader, brought up earlier and which has been alluded to by the Senator from Washington. The issue was a matter under the…

I rise today to voice my strong support for the nomination of Congressman James ``Jim'' Bridenstine to be the next NASA Administrator. On November 1, 2017, the Senate Commerce, Science, & Transportation Committee, which I chair, held a…
