I ask unanimous consent to have printed in the Congressional Record updated United States Senate Fellowship Regulations. There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in the Record, as follows: U.S. Senate Stars of Valor…

Well, thank you, Senator Shaheen. I also understand that this year's appropriations bill, as I noted, was a product of negotiations in especially difficult circumstances. Given this situation, I thank you and Senator Murray for…

Thank you, Senator Shaheen. I yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Alabama.

Thank you, Senator Shaheen. I am pleased to be here with my colleague from New Hampshire. Mr. President, as I said when I came to the floor earlier this week, I appreciate the tough negotiations that my colleagues on the Appropriations…

I really hope you are able to address these concerns with Representative Maloy and commit to supporting the legislation.

I rise today to join Senator Durbin and Senator Graham--thank you for organizing this--Senator Cornyn and Senator Hawley and others who believe it is long past time to update and change our laws in this digital world. As my colleagues…
