I have not defined actually what we want out of the Arctic and out of that region of the world.

We must struggle as hard as we can to make sure that the Arctic is an area that reflects cooperation rather than military confrontation

Let me offer my congratulations to those who have served our country in the Congress who now will be retiring and moving on. All of us will get there sometime. This is a noble job if we make it such, and many people who have served here…

I will be supporting the en bloc amendment, but let me remind our colleagues that this is only saying that these bills should be permitted to come to the floor.

And after months of watching these brave men and women--and 30 percent of these battalions are made up of women, female fighters--after watching them hold off these attacks from ISIS, it is long past time that our Government figure out a…

I think that we have got to be very sensitive to that--to make sure that that outcome does not happen.

I thought the behavior of our Government in that whole episode was disgraceful and has undermined our ability to be--to arbitrate other disputes.
