The people of King Cove, the vast majority of them are Native, have been consulted for 30 years. They want the road.

I even said, Mr. President, this is wrong. You know it, I know it. It is wrong.

The Fish and Wildlife Service has declined to list the Alexander Archipelago wolf in southeast Alaska as endangered.

I thank the Presiding Officer for that heartfelt welcome here on the Senate floor. I know the Presiding Officer is excited, and I know the pages are excited. Heck, half of America is excited because, once again, it is Thursday afternoon…

I appreciate that very much. Not if you are going to take away your compliment--if you are going to keep it, I will yield.

recently, there have been numerous articles in the media about the U.S. Navy's lack of amphibious ships-- one that I would like to submit for the Record, headlined ``Grounding of U.S. Marine Unit Spotlights Lack of Ships in Asia-Pacific,''…

I want to thank Senator Capito and Senator Barrasso for their leadership on an issue that matters to every single American. This is one of those issues where the Congress of the United States should be coming together in a bipartisan way…

I thank the majority leader for his fine compliment to me on the Senate floor about learned remarks. I appreciate that.

The Biden administration, as we were negotiating the Camp Lejeune Act and the PACT Act, encouraged this Committee to adopt caps.

There have been reports of 40, 50, 60 percent contingency fees, which is just outrageous.

the more that this gets delayed without fixing the attorney fee cap issue, the more Marine Corps families and Marines who we are trying to help are going to not get the justice that they deserve.

I rise today, along with Senator Murkowski, to bring awareness to National Education and Sharing Day U.S.A., which we recognized on April 2, 2023. On this day, we acknowledged the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Schneerson's global…

I certainly hope the Congress can fix it.

I ask unanimous consent that there be 4 minutes of debate, equally divided. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

again, I want to work with Senator Stabenow on this issue, but we have an opportunity right now. Every Senator knows that our firefighters in small communities come to the Senate and ask for help because they don't have the tax base to…

I call up my amendment No. 83 and ask that it be reported by number. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the amendment by number. The legislative clerk read as follows: The Senator from Alaska [Mr. Sullivan] proposes an amendment…

every job in America is important, but there is something special, sacred, even noble about a job that entails putting your life on the line to keep your fellow citizens safe, and that is the job of our firefighters. In Alaska…

The Biden administration Justice Department, when he was going through the markup, said, 'This needs caps. This needs caps on attorneys' fees.'

I think it is just a straight-up right-wrong issue.

a choice between trial lawyers, sick Marines and their families, it should be 100 to zero.

Trial lawyers are loving it, loving it. But my goodness, you want to talk about scamming.

Seventeen percent is very generous. Dick Durbin's argument, 'Oh, you will not get good lawyers unless it is 30 percent.' No offense, that is BS.

I have never dealt with an issue that is so black and white, that should be fixed, and I cannot get my colleagues to agree to it.

This is such a no-brainer, and the only reason it is not moving is because of the support of the trial lawyers in your party.

this is a no-brainer.
