I say to my friend, the Senator is right on target. What has happened as we have looked at this over the last year and a half now is even the good actors are being sucked into this vortex because the business model itself is bad. For…

I say to my friend it is. It is embarrassing, and it is just shameful. I said earlier this is from Kaplan's recruiting. They call it their military learning module. They call it ``Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt.'' As I said earlier, they…

I say to my friend, first of all, Westwood was one of the schools that the GAO had an undercover investigation into that had one of the most deceptive programs of getting students to sign up. That is all documented on film. Second, the…

That is right. Starting in August, that's about how much the GI Bill will pay per year.

I say to my friend, yes, we did. On December 8, our committee issued a report, December 8, 2010, a report on, partially-- what the Senator is saying now, how much more expensive these programs are in these schools compared to what they…

The Senator is right on the mark. The House wanted to keep the Department of Education from issuing what we call a gainful employment rule, which basically is a rule saying, if you are going to take all this money and you are supposed to…

I ask unanimous consent to have the documents I referred to printed in the Record. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. (See exhibit 1.)

Mr. President, over the past 6 months, I have come to the floor several times to discuss the findings of an ongoing investigation by the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee into the for- profit education sector, and the…

Mr. President, for the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions I report favorably the following nomination lists which were printed in the Records on the dates indicated, and ask unanimous consent, to save the expense of…

Madam President, I come to the floor to speak on the nomination of Goodwin Liu to be Circuit Judge of the Ninth Circuit. I have said many times over the past 2 weeks--and perhaps for longer than the last 2 weeks--that by any fair measure…

Mr. President, I come to the floor to address my colleagues and the public on the nomination of Susan Carney, nominated to the Second Circuit, and which we will soon vote. Today's vote marks the 24th judicial confirmation this year and the…

Mr. President, American consumers are hurting. Unemployment remains stubbornly high at 9 percent. And, energy costs are escalating, and increasing the cost of many other goods and services, such as groceries, clothing and other household…

To me, this practice is the equivalent of investigating a Federal district judge for misconduct every time the judge is reversed by an appeal to the circuit court.

Biofuels are a remarkable success. They displace close to 10 percent of our gasoline demand.

I know Senator Wyden is considering a number of approaches to enact legislation that would codify the work of the stakeholders in this region-specific project.

I want to again thank Senator Wyden for his leadership and strong commitment to Oregon's national forests.

These performance goals are ambitious but sustainable and achievable provided there is sufficient funding to allow the Forest Service to prepare and implement stewardship contracts.

One of the most significant challenges we face in our National Forests is finding greater common ground among environmentalists, forest industry, and rural communities.
