The Internet has been successful precisely because of a hands-off approach.

I believe that many, if not all of us, share similar goals with respect to the Internet.

Mr. President, today I introduced the Helping Innovation and Revitalizing Innovation Act. It is a Federal Communications Commission, FCC, process reform idea called the HIRE Act. This measure seeks to make the FCC more efficient and…

To authorize the Secretary of the Interior to retire coal preference right lease applications for which the Secretary has made an affirmative commercial quantities determination.

Well, you know what? Time is kind of a'wasting. You know, we are down to the wire here. So my time is expired. But, man, I would just like to get this done.

I have been here long enough to know that, when the Administration comes in with a statement that says we would like to continue to work with the sponsors, that is code, and that is code for, 'We don't like this bill, but we don't want to…

So when you say the money is coming from Federal land elsewhere, it is coming from--I am the 'elsewhere.' It is from Wyoming.

H.R. 5176 is essential to fulfill our Federal obligation to the Navajo Nation.

How does delaying this bill moving forward advance that conclusion? Would you like to have the bill written so it uses a specific number?

I appreciate that, and I get that, and I am sorry to interrupt you. I was kind of hoping that you could just say 'yes' or 'no.'

Mr. President, if you talk to the people in Vermont, and I suspect in any other State in America, they will say the most serious crisis facing this country is the lack of decent-paying jobs, particularly when it comes to young Americans…

Mr. President, thank you very much. With that, I would yield the floor and note the absence of a quorum. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll. The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.

Mr. President, I ask that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. (The remarks of Senator Sanders pertaining to the introduction of S. 2832 are printed in today's Record under…

Mr. Speaker, over 19 percent of returning veterans suffer from some form of traumatic brain injury. That is why in March I introduced H.R. 4276 which would extend a VA pilot program to care for those suffering from traumatic brain injury…

the people who congregated in Afghanistan, has absolutely nothing to do with this.
