The Public Record
The answer to my friend from Colorado is no. The election of a new President might change an Executive order if the new President modified or changed the Executive order. My understanding of Senator Inhofe's amendment, and he can speak for…
could I be notified when I have 60 seconds left? The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator will be notified.
Will the Chair please advise me when 60 seconds remains. Mr. President, I thank the Senator from Georgia and congratulate him on his amendment. The President talked last night about what we need to do to secure our borders. He took an…
Through the Chair, my question to the Senator from Georgia is this: I favor a comprehensive immigration bill. I would like to see border security. I would like to see legal status for students who study here, for skilled people who help…
I offer my support for the Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act of 2005 conference report, which will prevent a tax increase on millions of Americans and keep our economy growing. This bill could also be called the Job Creation…
on Monday night, with unanimous support, the Senate passed resolution No. 458 that I sponsored, along with 12 other Senators, affirming that the Pledge of Allegiance and the National Anthem be said or sung in the language that unites us as…
today the U.S. Civil Rights Commission announced its opposition to S. 147, the Native Hawaiian Government Reorganization Act of 2005, which the Commission found to ``discriminate on the basis of race.'' It is possible that the Senate will…
I think that makes my point. Apparently, I did not misunderstand. Apparently, the Democratic Party in the Senate does not agree that we should say the Pledge of Allegiance, sing the national anthem, and take the oath of citizenship in our…
I am here today because I may have misunderstood the actions on the other side of the aisle. Something rather surprising has occurred. It would appear from their actions that my colleagues in the Democratic Party seem to believe that we…
I ask unanimous consent Subcommittee on Trade, Tourism and Economic Development be authorized to meet on Thursday, May 4, 2006, at 2:30 p.m., on Promoting Economic Development Opportunities Through Nano Commercialization. The PRESIDING…
across the country today, thousands of immigrants, legal and illegal, are marching in a nationwide rally. Many are saying that they, too, want to become Americans. But I am afraid the message is quite literally getting lost in translation…
It declares some of our national ideals, in being ``the land of the free and the home of the brave.'' That is why we should always sing it in our common language: English. And that is why today I will introduce, along with Senator Frist…
I do not suppose there is a row of seats in the U.S. Senate that produces more passion and eloquence than the back row on the other side of the aisle. I enjoyed listening to the Senator from New York and the Senator from Massachusetts on…
there will be a rare opportunity about noon on the Senate floor. There will be a chance for the American people to have for themselves a handy list of big spenders, something they can put on their blogs, something they can put in their…
I wonder if, through the Chair, I might ask the Senator from New Hampshire a question. Typically, a piece of legislation that is paid for has a better chance of making it all the way through to the end than a piece of legislation that is…
I understand the remaining time on the Democratic side is not needed and may be yielded back.
There is some talk about a brazen smokescreen on the other side. I suggest the brazen smokescreen might be to first stand up and say we are going to have more border security but we are not going to pay for it, and then turn around 30…
I yield to myself 15 minutes. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
25 of us in the Senate have introduced S. 489, a bipartisan piece of legislation--Senators Kyl and Cornyn on the Republican side and Senators Pryor and Nelson on the Democratic side, and a number of others--to try to put some reasonable…
I see the whip. I have three or four remarks on another subject. Mr. McCONNELL. I am in no hurry.
I thank the whip. May I be granted time to finish my remarks? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, the Senator is recognized for 3 minutes. ____________________
14 years ago, when I was the U.S. Secretary of Education, I received an invitation to the annual Italian- American dinner in Washington, DC. To tell the truth, I really didn't want to go because there are lots of dinners in Washington, DC…
tomorrow Governor Bredesen and Congressman Tanner will be on the site. We will continue to be in touch with Governor Bredesen and provide whatever assistance we can. We will work closely with State and local officials. My prayers are with…
I believe Senator Kyl and Senator Cornyn are coming to the Chamber to talk. I believe they have just arrived. I defer to Senator Cornyn and to Senator Kyl. We will be voting tonight on an amendment about helping prospective citizens become…
the Senator from Arizona, who has the next 15 minutes, has generously agreed to allow the Senator from Alabama to have up to 3 minutes. I ask unanimous consent that the agreement be modified so the Senator from Alabama has 3 minutes…
Politicians like Douglas Alexander
