Devising a comprehensive plan to secure our Nation's borders is the first step on the road to a more secure homeland. This bipartisan bill is a good start, and I ask my colleagues to support its passage. I yield back the balance of my time.

I come from a region which has almost 6 million daily passengers on subway and commuter lines. This legislation is absolutely vital, I urge its adoption, and I yield back the balance of my time.

There is probably no bill that is more meaningful to Members of Congress, particularly the gentleman from Texas, my good friend, Mr. Cuellar, than the Jaime Zapata Border Enforcement Security Task Force Act. This would authorize for the…

Let me thank my outstanding colleague from the State of Florida, Congresswoman Wasserman Schultz. I personally want to express my appreciation for the work you have done to make this day a reality so that we can all acknowledge Jewish…

It's only because of the late hour--we have three more pieces of vital legislation to pass in the next 15 or 20 minutes--that I am not speaking at length on this issue because it is so vital. I thank the gentleman from Minnesota for it. I…

I thank the gentleman. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the so-called ``Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act.'' Today, the Republican majority continues its war on women in a new and creative way, by attempting to couch legislation that…

Representative Meehan has spent a great deal of time studying various threats to the homeland, including al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, the Pakistani Taliban, Hezbollah, and Boko Haram. He fully understands the threat to the U.S…

Well, as a Jewish mother and a Jewish grandmother, I am very proud of my three children and my 8 grandchildren. And I just want to say, again, that you are really a role model for all women, not just Jewish women, a strong woman with…

I would just suggest to the ranking member, since we are running short on time, I'm going to abbreviate my remarks. I know that your eloquence is unbounded, but I will try to restrict myself. Mr. Speaker, H.R. 1299, the Border Security Act…

Only due to the shortness of time, I will keep my remarks brief. This bill amends the Homeland Security Act of 2002 and directs the DHS Secretary to make it a priority to assign officers and intelligence analysts to participate in State…

Ranking Member, I have one further speaker. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Poe).

I am speaking on the majority's time. The PRESIDING OFFICER. On the Bingaman amendment?

Mr. President, I rise today to discuss S. 739, a bill which authorizes the Architect of the Capitol, AOC, at no cost to the Federal government, to create and install electric vehicle recharging stations in Senate parking facilities. This…

No. I am speaking on the McCain amendment. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The senior Senator from New York is recognized. Amendment No. 2146

Mr. President, I am going to speak for a brief moment on the amendment No. 2146 and then on a different issue, which is the reaction of some to the proposal Senator Casey and I made about Eduardo Saverin and others who renounced their…

Madam President, earlier this week I introduced the Cody Miller Initiative for Safe Prescriptions Act. The legislation would require the Food and Drug Administration to issue regulations to ensure patients receive timely, consistent, and…

I appreciate the Chairman's support and hope to work with him to advance this legislation. I also hope he will join me in calling on the FDA to use its existing authority to ensure patient medication information is uniform, accurate, and…

Mr. President, I thank Senator Lautenberg for his leadership and dedication to protecting our families. And I know why he is concerned. I know, because I think about these issues every single day. I washed my son's hair last night in his…
