Thank you, Madam Chair.

Can we say that you all are committed to helping to work that out where there is a claiming of the cemetery so we can do the appropriate thing?

as the son of a master sergeant in the Air Force, I grew up in a family that had values rooted in military tradition and patriotism. But you certainly don't have to be from a military family to love our country. We are encouraged to have a…

Did you say 18 had been reversed?

We are the only Nation in the world that really does that, you know, that takes such good care of our veterans.

I ask for a recorded vote. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second? There appears to be a sufficient second. The clerk will call the roll. The legislative clerk called the roll. Mr. PAUL (when his name was called). Present.

I call up amendment No. 2360, as modified. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, the clerk will report the amendment, as modified. The legislative clerk read as follows: The Senator from Arkansas [Mr. Boozman] proposes an amendment No…

I send a modification to the desk to my amendment No. 2360. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the modification?

I call up amendment No. 2355, which is at the desk. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report. The legislative clerk read as follows: The Senator from Arkansas [Mr. Boozman] proposes an amendment numbered 2355. The amendment was as…

do not shortchange the future, you know, as you focus on the present.

Under the new agreement for a limited number of commercial partners under the Space Act Agreements, how will NASA ensure that its safety standards and human readiness requirements will be met by the vehicles being developed?

That really does seem to be a key in the sense that it has got to be done right.

I just want to real quickly ask, Mr. Coy, we are all really very concerned about veterans being treated unfairly.

My understanding--and this has been misreported--is that both nominees are simply nominated to positions on the Commission.

I believe we need to have five active and engaged Commissioners, overseeing the important work of the agency.

I hope the President will choose the best prepared and most qualified Commissioner to serve as Chair, when the time comes.

I want to thank you and Ranking Member Burr. I think it is so important that we are holding the hearing today.

We will really need to do something about this.

I rise today to speak to the Agriculture Reform, Food, and Jobs Act or the farm bill. The chair, ranking member, and all of the members of the Senate Agriculture Committee have worked very hard in a bipartisan manner on this legislation…

given that it is an election year, the American people are going to hear a lot of highly charged political rhetoric over the next few months. They are likely already tired of what they have heard. The Arkansans I talked with during the…

But it seems like there is almost complete agreement here that the mechanism that the EU has chosen to solve the problem as they see it is not reasonable, it is unreasonable. I think that it's illegal.

this week marks the 49th annual National Small Business Week, a time to celebrate the innovations, ideas, and hard work of our entrepreneurs. Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, accounting for 65 percent of new jobs over the…
