I certainly will continue to work with my friend from Massachusetts--and he is my friend, and I have a lot of respect for him. He and I work together on a number of things, but with all due respect, that was a bit of a rope-a-dope tapdance…
I will take my colleague and friend from Massachusetts up on his offer. Round 1; 16 months later, round 2. That is a lot of people hurting, including Massachusetts fishermen, by this unfair trading that we have with Russia--completely…
The number one issue I am hearing from our veterans right now is this issue, call centers.
I am just hopeful that you guys can bring back call centers to have better service.
we are looking at the reauthorization process now, which is a good opportunity, to instill the value of preserving locally driven economic development decisions.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and appreciate the witnesses here today. I have kind of a really important issue and have kind of been here before, but we really need your help on it, and it is with regard to call centers.
Do you think that a current EDA approach has enough of that local flavor, or is it getting too centralized in Washington?
the Federal Government is about 5,000 miles away from my State, and they often don't understand us.
I want to commend Senator Manchin. He has done a lot in this area, on this topic.
You know, I come from a State with more vets per capita than any State in the country, and our very rural State, Alaska, we do not even have one full-service VA hospital in the State.
We do not want anyone from that system or any system, or any of our veterans, dying of a drug overdose that is induced by too many pills. That is outrageous.
It should not matter on your ZIP code how good your VA or private care provider is.
Look, my view is they have a whole host of other areas where they can really fight inflation, right.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I appreciate the witnesses being here. It is an important topic.
Is this really like more of a transparency issue, or do you think that kind of trying to bring this into fighting inflation is a stretch?
One of the issues that I think--that we are all struggling, not struggling with, but trying to nail down better is how you define junk fees.
I call up my amendment No. 125 and ask that it be reported by number. The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will report. The legislative clerk read as follows: The Senator from Alaska [Mr. Sullivan] proposes an amendment numbered 125. The…
And it raises---- Madam President, I ask unanimous consent for 30 seconds more. The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there objection?
the Fiscal Responsibility Act, unfortunately, does not meet the moment in terms of defending our Nation. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and others have said we are now in the most dangerous period of any time since World War II. And yet…
And for fiscal year 2025, it raises the defense top line by 5 percent to simply keep pace with inflation. These increases are offset by rescinding the additional amounts from the President's $80 billion plus-up from the IRS. So, my…
I ask unanimous consent for 10 minutes for my remarks as well as 10 minutes for Senator Wicker and Senator Collins' remarks before the vote. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
I think my colleagues are making the really important point of the national security implications of the bill that we are looking at and voting on. And I agree with what my colleagues have already said. Speaker McCarthy had a difficult…
