I am pleased with the support we have already seen and encourage many more of my colleagues to support and help us pass this bill. Help us make this happen. It is the right thing to do. I yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator…

I ask Senator Coons, don't you think it is time that Congress acted on trade secret theft?

That is right, I say to Senator Coons. As we prepared to reintroduce our bill in this Congress, we were fortunate to join forces with Senator Jeff Flake of Arizona. He was invaluable in fine-tuning the ex parte seizure language. Because of…

Well, of course it would. I thank Senator Coons. He has asked what really is the critical question. If I were a CEO responsible to my shareholders, I could not, according to my fiduciary duties, make those investments if rogue employees…

They were extraordinary, and they inspired all of us, especially in the way they conducted themselves and carried through. What a bunch of great athletes they were.

I graduated from high school in 1952. I was the captain of the high school basketball team. I followed this Crispus Attucks team. It was fantastic, almost every player.

I appreciate the gentleman from Alaska yielding. There are some Native American tribes that do not rely on gaming alone for their source of revenue. They can't. It is amazing how often we hear, dealing with North American Native tribes…

I rise today to speak about an important form of intellectual property: trade secrets. I am pleased to be participating in this colloquy with my friend from Delaware, Senator Chris Coons. Earlier this year, we introduced the Defend Trade…

2 months ago I came to the Senate floor in my capacity as President pro tempore to speak to my colleagues about the importance of maintaining decorum and respect in this body. I reminded them that decorum is essential to the proper…

a few weeks ago I inaugurated a series of speeches about religious freedom. In the first speech, I said that the rights of conscience and religious exercise go to the very heart of who we are as human beings and how we make sense out of…

I rise to talk about the recent developments in U.S. trade policy and their implications for the future. Over this past weekend, officials from the Obama administration, along with 11 other countries, reached what they believed will be the…

No, I'm not suggesting that they broke the law.

I think some of the video that's been out there, the rumors that have been swirling, some of the testimony that we have heard causes a lot of people to legitimately ask and dive into whether or not what they're doing is illegal.

the attempt by some to relitigate a 40-year-old decision places thousands of lives at risk.

the attempt to defund Planned Parenthood places each of those lives at risk.
