I ask unanimous consent the resolution be agreed to, the preamble be agreed to, and that the motions to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table with no intervening action or debate. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection…

I ask unanimous consent that the Washington Post article entitled ``4 ways China is trying to interfere in Taiwan's presidential election'' be printed in the Record. There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in the…

for those watching all over the world, this Senate resolution, with 50 Democratic and Republican Senate cosponsors, has now passed the U.S. Senate as an official resolution commending the people of Taiwan for their democratic elections and…

we are almost certainly facing a volatile and maybe even dangerous period in the Taiwan Strait because of the Chinese Communist Party. The election is January 13. The inauguration won't take place until May. So what we need to do as a…

I am going to end my remarks today on a high note and a very important one. It is Wednesday. I like to come down and do what we call the ``Alaskan of the Week.'' I can see the pages are already kind of excited, right, because, let's face…

I know this might be one of the last presiding duties of the year, so I appreciate the Presiding Officer taking the time on the floor before she gets to go home. I want to talk about two issues today here on the Senate floor. One is a…

I want to begin by offering my sincere thanks to the chairman of the Finance Committee, my friend Senator Wyden of Oregon. I am honored to be on the floor with him today to talk about these housing issues and this really important bill…

Billy Mitchell referred to in a hearing in the Congress as Alaska is the most strategic place in the world.

We are in a new era of authoritarian aggression led by the dictators Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping.

What investor in their right mind would even consider spending millions of dollars in ANWR?

I commend the committee for undertaking this hearing to understand the complexities of Arctic security.
