Barbara Boxer

The reason we didn't do it is we had another law that actually set our caps; am I right on that? So we didn't go through the budget.

I wish to say to my friend, today was a great day for the Senator from Rhode Island, not only because of the speech that I think is quite memorable but also because of the amendment he passed with the help of our Republican friends, to set…

OK. I know Senator Coats has some very important remarks to make about the death of a figure whom he cares about very much. What I wish to propose, if I can, is to talk a little bit about this little back and forth we had going between my…

OK. So this is my understanding: I ask Senator Blumenthal, do you have more to say on this matter with the resolution?

I will in 1 second. I want to read what CRS says: Proposed legislation does not explicitly provide the Corps with authority to restrict firearms at Corps facilities (e.g., dams) or in specifically designated areas. I am happy to yield.

I wish to ask my friend to show me where he excludes the areas that have the critical infrastructure because we have a report from CRS that says they are not excluded. The dams are not excluded.

It is also an issue that brings Americans together because we all agree it is simply unacceptable that more than 60,000 veterans are homeless on any given night.

I strongly believe that if we work together as a Nation, we can end veteran homelessness once and for all.

This straightforward bill would create a 'check-off box' on the annual Federal tax return form and allow taxpayers to make a voluntary contribution in the amount of their choice to support programs that prevent and combat veteran…

Sen. Barbara Boxer's S. 62 would help address some of the shortfalls by establishing a national Homeless Veterans Assistance Fund.

Ending veteran homelessness is one of the most critical challenges facing our Nation today.

VVA thanks Senator Boxer for her efforts in this regard.

You cannot voice all these emotions about what is happening and not come with a check, you cannot.

I am really sorry that you faced these questions, because in my opinion you were not involved in this letter.

It is clear that the international community must do more.

It just shows you the depth of the concern of this committee as far as the way women and girls are being treated.

It may not reflect the position of the Congress. To my knowledge, it has to be done through the Congress.

The stability of their own nations are at stake.

Last week I was proud that this committee unanimously approved a bill I wrote with Senator Landrieu named after a young Pakistani heroine Malala.

Well, congratulations on that victory, which we eventually helped make a reality, which was a big brouhaha around here.

I was very proud that today President Obama said he is providing an additional $333 million in humanitarian aid for those affected by this crisis.

In order for countries to advance to the next level, educating women and girls is absolutely essential.

Vladimir Putin has presided over a severe crackdown on human rights in Russia.

I hope that we can work together to persuade him that he should not hold up your nomination.

It is very disturbing that the Human Rights Council in the 22nd session--there were six resolutions that targeted Israel.
