Jeff Flake

I have spent about 3 years of my life in southern Africa.

What advice would you give to the President, in terms of what activities we are involved in around the world that we would need to cease?

I thank the Senator. I have just one other point. The second amendment, as I mentioned-- and the Senator mentioned that this 2-year extension leads to another 10 years in subsidies. Depending on when they actually start production, it…

I thank the Senator. Senator Alexander and I are introducing an amendment to the tax extenders bill currently on the floor. This amendment would simply strike that extension, do away with it completely. We also have another amendment as to…

Yes. And I want to point out as well that neither of us is saying there is no place for wind energy.

In that same column, the Senator also talked about the environmental impact. It is often thought that these renewables are all the same in terms of their impact on the environment. But the Senator points out where these need to be built…

I thank the Senator. I don't think there is justification. The justification that often is given is that we have to give some kind of surety moving ahead, and people won't invest in this industry if they don't know that the subsidy is…

I rise today to speak about the unfortunate allegations of mismanagement and neglect that have been leveled against the Phoenix VA health care system. By now we have all seen the headlines highlighting unsettling allegations that veterans…

We also want, beyond, you know, the abduction, to address, you know, those root causes.

The military's decline in effectiveness in Nigeria is really traced to fear that the political leadership has to military coup.

I have introduced legislation, the Future of America Innovation and Research Act, the FAIR Act, which allows the owner of a trade secret to bring civil action in Federal court against the person who stole the trade secret if the bad actor…

We appreciate the effort by Senator Flake to highlight the continued problem of trade secret theft that occurs abroad.

I do not see American travel as some kind of a reward for good behavior on behalf of the Cuban Government.

Let us simply allow Americans to travel to Cuba, and we would achieve in my view--and this is not your call to make.

I applaud this administration for doing that, much better in my view than the last administration.

I could not agree more. And that is why I have opposed our policy on Cuba for so long.

Thank you for, in both your written and oral testimony, talking about the carbon footprint, if you will, for every African and how much lower it is.

I certainly would second that. I think if the goal here is to bring power, that needs to be the goal.

It is my understanding that the underlying premise of the Medicare home health benefit is that, if properly used, it can lower Medicare spending by moving patients sooner from higher cost settings to their own homes.

I'm just wondering, somebody, maybe Dr. Goldwyn, if you could tell me how will Russia react if we were to start permitting process.

If he's changed sides that's alright.

I think the outcry from the United States and from Europe may stop, for the time being at least, Russia from moving further into the Ukraine.

This is a great example of a bipartisan issue that we get behind.

I have to run to another meeting, but I just want to say in general, in this industry and elsewhere, we have benefited where the government treads as lightly as possible and lets the private sector innovate as long as there is competition.

I rise today to talk for a short period of time about the magnitude of our budget, debt, and deficit. Against the backdrop of a debt ceiling increase, Members of both parties are going to today, likely, repeal one of the deficit reduction…
