Dianne Feinstein

Thanks very much, Mr. Chairman.

I don't understand the push for this and the absence of a push to safely secure the waste.

To me, this is the key. You know, I think Southern California Edison has in the vicinity of 3300 rods in spent-fuel pools right at the facility, and no place to put them.

Yes, it has to be a regulated market.

It is my belief that our amendment does cover the--Senator Leahy and Senator Nelson submitted to us an amendment, which is incorporated, which does cover the Orlando killer. I wanted the Senator to know that. Thank you very much.

I will go first, and then he is going to do his 20 minutes, and then Mrs. Boxer will speak.

If I may, Madam President, I thought what the Senator was proposing was that he would have 20 minutes and I would have 20 minutes.

This enemy is very different from past adversaries like Al Qaida, because ISIL not only seeks to control territory in several countries, but is taking advantage of technology and social media to recruit fighters and inspire terrorist…

We cannot negotiate with extremists who seek only to kill, and I don't think we will.

I also understand what the Republican candidate for president is saying.

I think the vetting takes a long time that I get complaints on the length of time it takes.

I watched this for so long, Anderson, and it just gets worse and worse and worse.

The thing is you want to stop a potential terrorist.

Well, no. The process is that if somebody comes in and this is overwhelmingly for the Americans on this watch list, the small minority, and they go in for a background check, and the background check is evaluated quickly by the Justice…

Her new proposal would allow the attorney general to block the sale of guns and explosives to people who are known or suspected terrorists.

Given the importance of IGs, I believe these gaps in service are unacceptable.

In 2013 this Committee included in the Intelligence Authorization Act a requirement for Senate confirmation of the inspectors general for the National Reconnaissance Office and the National Security Agency.

I don't want to go back to the '68 convention because I worry what it does to the electorate as a whole and he should too.

It worries me a great deal, you know. I don't want to go back to the '68 convention, because I worry about what it does to the electorate as a whole, and he should too.

We have worked with relevant federal and state agencies for two years now to make sure this bill can produce real water in a manner consistent with the Endangered Species Act and biological opinions.

I heard what our chairman said. I thoroughly support him. I commend the Senator from Hawaii for seeing this and proposing this amendment. We recommend that it be adopted. Can we call the vote? We yield back any time.

I don't want North Korea with a 6-kiloton nuclear cruise missile.

Well, let me--what are your estimates? How--the $3.2 billion in deferred maintenance, did you have specific plans for meeting that, or are you just going to ignore it?

I think there is a very definite morality in what we have.

I came away unconvinced of the need for this weapon. The so-called improvements to this weapon seem to be designed candidly to make it more usable, to help us fight and win a limited nuclear war. I find that a shocking concept.
