I don't want to be rude here, I only have so much time. Shouldn't we in the formula prioritize need?

I am concerned that these three potential formulas by the EPA that have been developed are too heavily reliant on population and can make matters worse, at least for States like mine that have these kinds of needs and size and challenges.

That is just completely unacceptable. As American citizens, we should all care about that.

we have thousands of U.S. citizens, patriotic Americans, who live in third-world conditions. That is just not right.

that issue should trump everything.

the people in Alaska refer to the system of honey buckets, which sounds sweet. It is not sweet at all.

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Energy

the American people--the world--is watching a really horrendous, barbaric, horrible situation in Ukraine; and we are all praying for the people there, trying to do as much as we can to support them. And this barbarism we are seeing from…

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Ossoff). Without objection, it is so ordered. State of the Union Address

obviously, the images coming out of Ukraine and the heroism that we are seeing is inspiring people all across America, all across the world, and it is spurring governments to action, appropriate action. Just the other day, there was a…

I would like your assurance that this award is not treated by the DOT as an award in lieu of any of the future grants.

So nobody is going to go, well, you know, the Port of Alaska just got this big award, so we are not going to give them a grant, because they just got something. You are not going to do that?

It moves 90 percent of all goods that come into Alaska, 90 percent. So very important that way.

let me begin with one of the areas of course correction that we are urging the President to undertake, and that is in the area of national defense. There are many lessons that we are going to learn from this Ukrainian invasion, but one of…

I want to get your commitment to come on up to Alaska and actually see and walk the ground with me, this port and other aspects of our infrastructure sometime soon.

My constituents, as you can imagine, were happy about the litigation finally looking like we have prevailed. But now they are worried that someone is going to take it out and use it against us.

I want to come down to the floor and talk about the issue that is certainly the focus of America and the world right now, and that is Ukraine, and that is the President's State of the Union Address, which will be a very important one…

I rise today to urge my colleagues--I think they are all going to do this--to support S. 3614. That is the United States-Russian Federation Seafood Reciprocity Act of 2022, a pretty simple bill that will require reciprocity between Russia…

I appreciate my friend Senator Markey, his offer to work through this. He and I have worked together on a number of issues, actually a number of issues particularly related to America's fishermen. As he mentioned, Massachusetts has a lot…

I want to commend my colleague and friend from Kansas. He said very, very eloquently that the administration's policies right now, which are anti-energy--they are driving up energy prices on working families. And it is national security…

reserving the right to object, I would like to talk a little bit about not just Ms. Williams--who as my friend from Montana has mentioned--I actually think she is qualified--but the issues that are in front of the Fish and Wildlife…

Here is one. It is from the president of the Voice of the Arctic Inupiat, John Hopson, Jr. In terms of equity [racial equity] we understand that the Biden Administration has made promises domestically and internationally to curb this…

Well, to my colleague, I look forward to working with you on that and those amendments and look forward to moving her nomination forward in that light. I yield the floor. ____________________

today I introduce the S.T.A.N.D. with Taiwan Act of 2022, which would mandate comprehensive and devastating economic and financial sanctions against the Chinese Communist Party, key sectors of China's economy, and leaders in the Chinese…

last week, I gave a long, detailed speech on the topic that was at hand last week and is the topic, right now, that we are focusing on here in the U.S. Senate: voting rights and the majority leader's goal this week, as it was last week, to…
