My heart and the hearts of my entire family go out to Vice President Joe Biden and his family on the tragic loss of his son, Beau Biden. As a mother of children about Beau's age I know that this is the age when our children are coming…
To protect this country, and the Republicans objected. Let's be clear. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Regular order has been called for. Debate is not in order. Mrs. FEINSTEIN addressed the Chair. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore…

All the back door efforts by special interests to undermine the ESA have to stop.
I urge my colleagues to support S. 1081 and join me in banning these cruel body-gripping traps from wildlife refuges.
A recent poll of the American people shows that 84 percent support the ESA, which was passed by an overwhelmingly bipartisan voice vote in the Senate, and signed into law by President Richard Nixon.
We have to remember, I think it was Richard Nixon who signed the Endangered Species Act, Richard Nixon.
