Mr. President, I rise to express my disappointment, and frankly bewilderment, over the blocking of a resolution to recognize International Women's Day. This week, on Monday, March 8, the world commemorated International Women's Day, a day…

I would argue for longer than 3 years. I think that it's very important.

As you all heard, because of our unique situation in New Hampshire, we have a lot of individual dwellings.

We think your suggestion for a transformer rebate fits perfectly with the rest of Building STAR's provisions.

I would hate to see us invest money in manufactured housing that then the tenants would lose because the parks are sold out from under them.

I fully support the concept of offering rebates for the use of proven energy conserving technologies.

The Building STAR program... will create a significant number of jobs, save money on utility bills, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

My concern is not so much that there be those adjustments, but that whatever is available is transparent to the public so they can get that list, so they know what they're buying, just as if they go out and buy a refrigerator they know…

I would like to add a caution to follow up on Senator Stabenow because, as we've discussed, one of the concerns that we've heard from the CAP agencies has been around the clarity of rules governing the program.

One of the things that we talk about in that report is exactly what you both said about building a system that can deliver results.

Mr. President, I wish to congratulate the athletes from New Hampshire who represented our country at the Olympic games in Vancouver. As I watched the games over those 2 exciting weeks in February, I know I joined all Granite Staters in…

Mr. President, I rise today to commemorate National Peace Corps Week and to honor the thousands of Americans who serve as Peace Corps volunteers throughout the world. The Peace Corps was founded on the ideal that each of us has the…

Madam President, last week Senate leadership reached agreement on a short-term extension of Federal unemployment benefits and other critical programs that were set to expire. But when we tried to pass the bill, sadly, one single Senator…

I really wanted to just stay around this morning to, again, recognize and appreciate your support...

I am pleased to see your enthusiasm for programs like the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF).

I want to thank you for the work that you and everyone at the Department are doing and recognize the difficult challenge that you and everyone in government is facing right now as we look at the limited resources we have and the amount of…

I think it's important, and what I'm hoping you're going to tell me is that you appreciate the differences between our forests in the East and the forests in the West.
