Ensuring that Congress supports the need for proper data, supported by reputable and consistent science, is critical to maintaining a sustainable, yet profitable, national fishery.

I know the Presiding Officer and all of our colleagues and those watching today know that we have been focused on the budget resolution. It is a very important document for the country, for the Senate, and for the Congress. There are a lot…

nearly every week I have been coming down to the Senate floor to recognize someone in my State who has made a difference for Alaska and really has made a difference for all Americans. It is my favorite part of the week to actually come…
