Through the Chair, I would inquire of the distinguished Senator from Hawaii whether, in addition to the concern about pollution that crosses borders when it flows down rivers or that crosses borders when it comes out of smokestacks and…

A question of Parliamentary order here. The time during the colloquy will continue to be charged to the Senator from Hawaii, correct? The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator is correct.

Mr. President, this is a very simple bubbler that anybody with an aquarium will recognize. All you simply do is you put the bubbler in. I produce carbon dioxide as I exhale. So I am exhaling one breath into this same glass. I will do one…

Thank you, Mr. President. There is a lot we don't know about Scott Pruitt. We know that thousands of emails between this man and the industry that he is supposed to be regulating as EPA Administrator have been suppressed by him for years…

One of the points I think could be made here with respect to the emails is that the first tranche of emails--the ones the judge instructed be released on Tuesday--are communications with Scott Pruitt's donors, with Devon Energy right here…

I draw the Senator's attention to this graphic my office has prepared which reflects certainly my recollection. When I came to the Senate, I want to say there were at least five Republican- sponsored climate change bills floating around…

I thank the Senator from Oregon. Mr. President, I note the diagram that I am showing beside me here on the floor, which is the work of an academic professor. He is one of a considerable number of professors and researchers who are looking…

With respect to delay for delay's sake, when a judge finds that the emails can be made available and the judge finds today that the emails can be made available by Tuesday and the attorney general has kept them bottled up for more than 750…

Mr. President, I rise in strong opposition to the nomination of Scott Pruitt to be the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency. President Trump has made it clear that he wants to savage environmental protections, and his…

Thank you, Mr. President. I suggest the absence of a quorum. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll. The bill clerk proceeded to call the roll.

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to rescind my previous request and reclaim my time. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

Mr. President, I rise in strong opposition to the nomination of Congressman Mick Mulvaney to be the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. Based on his appearance before the Senate Budget and Homeland Security Governmental…

Domestic manufacturers object to NAFTA & TPP-style trade agreements that not only outsource American manufacturing jobs to low-wage, unregulated countries.

Made In USA manufacturing is the backbone of the innovation economy, giving creatives + technologists the tools to commercialize their ideas.

It's questionable whether TPP labor standards can actually be verified or enforced in such countries.

We urge the House of Representatives to move this legislation forward and make the Manufacturing Communities program a permanent incentive for Made In USA small business growth.
