do I have any time to respond? The PRESIDING OFFICER. There is no time remaining. Vote on Amendment No. 3626 The question is on agreeing to the amendment.

We need to produce these materials here, not in China, and I ask my colleagues to vote yes for this amendment. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Oregon.

I call up my amendment 3626 and ask that it be reported by number. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report. The senior assistant legislative clerk read as follows: The Senator from Alaska [Mr. Sullivan] proposes an amendment numbered…

I want to thank Senator Portman for his outstanding work, all the great work that he is doing on this bill with Senator Sinema and others, and I am hopeful that we can get some of these amendments--bipartisan amendments--on the…

it is Thursday. It is my favorite time of the week. I get to come down on the Senate floor and talk about someone who has made an impact on their community, maybe the State, maybe the country, and, occasionally--occasionally--the world…

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded.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

It took 20 years to permit a gold mine in my State, the great State of Alaska.

I have raised it with the OMB Director; I have raised it with the Assistant Secretary for Civil Works for the Army Corps.

So do I. Good idea. It shouldn't be controversial. President Biden got rid of that EPO.

Unfortunately, our country, relative to other industrialized democracies on almost every measure, ranks last.

I want to thank my colleague, Senator Barrasso, for leading the effort to do what is the obvious thing to do on the U.S. Senate floor. Here, in a couple minutes, we are going to vote on one of the most extreme nominees I have ever seen to…

A 2 year, maybe a 3 year period as a goal for permitting, not 9, is really important.

it is Thursday. It is that time of week that I like to come down to the Senate floor and recognize someone special, someone we call our Alaskan of the Week. And it is--well, it is part of my, like I said, favorite time during the week. I…

I just want to again compliment my colleague from New York, who has worked this issue hard. It is an emotional issue. I think we all have good intentions on this issue. We all want to get to the right answer for men and women in the…

reserving the right to object, I first want to begin by complimenting my friend and colleague Senator Gillibrand of New York, who has been working diligently--and we all know it--for 10 years, a decade, on this issue, particularly the…

Asymmetric advantage the Chinese have over us is that we have an entire finance class... very comfortable investing in not just China.

The more the Chinese Communist Party opens its mouth, the more I think our European allies are recognizing what the reality is.

I don't think that is a good idea, forcefully or not, but how do we think about that when we think about selective decoupling as well?

Those companies and countries were very closely tracking what was going on with our legislation and the CHIPS Act.

I find this very, very troubling and yet some of our biggest finance executives seem to be completely fine with it.

I don't think it is a partisan topic.

You will kill millions of union jobs. The President is already pretty good at that.

There is a far left element of the Biden administration that thinks we can get rid of fossil fuels. We can't.

I know that in the Boston area, they import a lot of LNG from Russia. Very bad policy, by the way, the State of Massachusetts.

Look, I am a huge believer in what the Corps does. Their mission is to build things. A lot of what they do is transportation.
