The Public Record
British politician (born 1975)
I have a request for one committee to meet during today's session of the Senate. It has the approval of the Majority and Minority leaders. Pursuant to rule XXVI, paragraph 5(a), of the Standing Rules of the Senate, the following committee…
If there is no further business to come before the Senate, I ask unanimous consent that it stand adjourned under the previous order. There being no objection, the Senate, at 9 p.m., adjourned until Friday, June 12, 2020, at 12:01 a.m…
Next week in our committee we will take a look at going back to school safely, K-12. That is a lot more families--20 million college students, 75 million children in K-12. And in every one of those families, in every one of those homes, I…
My question will be short. Is it not true that the bill to which the Senator refers was still being written over the weekend, and it would have been impossible for the U.S. Senate to vote on it before Monday?
I see the Senator from Ohio. I intend to offer my alternative to which, I gather, someone plans to object. I will go ahead and do that unless he wants to speak at this point.
Is the Senator of Wisconsin not aware that the short-term healthcare plans do not change the law of preexisting condition?
If there is no further business to come before the Senate, I ask unanimous consent that it stand adjourned under the previous order. Thereupon, the Senate, at 7:46 p.m., adjourned until Tuesday, February 26, 2019, at 10 a.m…
Before the Senator from Maine speaks, I thank the Senator from Ohio for his generous comments. I defer to the Senator from Maine.
I have come to the floor for three different reasons. Out of courtesy to the Democratic leader, who I see coming in, I will wait until he is here.
If there is no further business to come before the Senate, I ask that it stand adjourned under the previous order. There being no objection, the Senate, at 6:42 p.m., adjourned until Thursday, September 20, 2018, at 3 p.m…
I thank the Senator from Utah for his remarks. I think we both would feel remiss if we didn't properly acknowledge all of the Senators and especially all of the staff members who have put in such long hours and used such professionalism to…
Let me finish, if I may, because we are trying to get to the vote. Well, yes, I yields.
I wonder if the Senator would yield for a moment for a scheduling announcement.
For the information of Senators and staffs, the leadership staffs are talking now about the possibility of a vote at about 4:45 this afternoon on a proposal by Senator Crapo and Senator Whitehouse, which would be a pilot program for…
I see the Senator from Hawaii. I don't know whether he has any remarks to make. I see the Senator from Oklahoma. ____________________
Thank you, Madam President. (The remarks of Mr. Alexander pertaining to the introduction of S. 2509 are printed in today's Record under ``Statements on Introduced Bills and Joint Resolutions.'')

I thank the Senator from Delaware for his remarks and his comments. I certainly hope that when we come back, we can get a result. That is what the job is about. I cosponsored and voted for the President's legislation. I cosponsored and…
Thank you, Mr. President. Mr. President, the Senate has just invoked cloture on the nomination of David Zatezalo, of West Virginia, to be the Assistant Secretary for Mine Safety and Health. Mr. Zatezalo is uniquely qualified to lead the…
I ask for the yeas and nays. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Johnson). Is there a sufficient second? There appears to be a sufficient second. The clerk will call the roll. The senior assistant legislative clerk called the roll.
I thank the Senator from Rhode Island for his courtesy in allowing me to go next. ____________________
While the Senator from Rhode Island is still here, I was pleased to join with him in an article published in the New York Times not long ago. We don't agree on everything, but we do agree on this: Climate change is a serious problem, and…
Following the Senator from Delaware, I ask unanimous consent that whatever Republican minutes are remaining would be reserved for Senator Thune.
I welcome Steve Berger and thank Senator Corker for arranging for him to be here today. Steve is, indeed, one of our most distinguished Tennesseans. We welcome his family and some of his friends who are with us in the Gallery. Chaplain…
