I won't be long, but I am so disappointed. I know my friend wants to be helpful, but I have to say that the visa waiver section--I am not being stubborn about this--all it does is it says that Israel should have the same privileges as…

I ask unanimous that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Reid). Without objection, it is so ordered.

Israel faces 100 rocket attacks a day from a terrorist organization called Hamas. Israel is trying to cope with getting rid of tunnels that have been built by this terrorist organization, with one purpose: to send terrorists through those…

if you sense some emotion and anger in my voice, I have it. I am shocked and deeply saddened that my friend would come here and object, when for days and days and days he told me--he told me--he would not do this. My friend told me he…

I rise today to speak in support of the President's emergency supplemental request of $615 million to fight wildfires throughout the United States. We have witnessed increasingly large and devastating wildfires over the last few decades…

I wish to speak to Senators for a minute and tell Members this amendment is the end of the Federal highway system. The States oppose it. My friend from Utah gave a very impassioned speech earlier in which he essentially said: Free the…

I know my friends Senator Mikulski and Senator Shelby are doing everything they can to work the will of the Senate. I know how they both want to get something done on this appropriations bill. I simply want to say that I looked at the…
