I am going to speak today on the Los Angeles Homeless Veterans Leasing Act, a bill I introduced with Senator Boxer.

The Feinstein bill does not directly incorporate the UCLA stadium.

VA supports Sections 2, 6, and 7 of S. 1885, the Veteran Housing Stability Act of 2015.

VA recognizes the extraordinary bravery and unparalleled service that our Medal of Honor recipients have provided on behalf of our Nation.

today I am introducing the Small Business Lending and Inequality Reduction Act of 2015. It is a simple bill with a straightforward goal: to increase economic activity in underserved communities to help create jobs and reduce economic…

reserving the right to object, I would like to make an observation. The notice for this went out less than an hour ago. The consultations with others haven't been made. It was precipitously brought to the floor, and I can only infer that…

I rise once again to speak against this callous, misguided effort to defund Planned Parenthood. This is a clear case of politics being put ahead of the country's best interests. This time the majority has tied this effort to the funding of…

I come to the floor to express my strong opposition to the bill we are going to be voting on tomorrow morning, and that is a bill to limit women's choice by banning abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. I would like to make several points…

I rise today to express my dismay over the votes that took place earlier today on the Senate floor. The resolution of disapproval of the Iran nuclear agreement has now been voted on three times in the Senate, and it has failed to advance…

I concur with the statement of Democratic Leader Reid. The P5+1 agreement is an executive agreement that can remain in effect beyond this administration. In fact, portions of the agreement last 20 and 25 years, and others are forever…

I submitted this resolution recognizing and commending those who boldly prevented what could have amounted to an unspeakable tragedy aboard a high-speed train headed toward Paris, France, on August 21, 2015. Those who took these courageous…

I have long been interested in this, actually before my colleagues came on, and have tried to be helpful in getting more ag inspectors at our border.

I worry very much about particularly chicken because chicken has become such a high item for people in terms of eating.

I think you are taking action, and I am very pleased to see that.

today I am reintroducing a bill for the private relief of Shirley Constantino Tan. Ms. Tan is a Filipina national living in Pacifica, CA. She is the proud mother of 19 year old U.S. citizen twin boys, Jashley and Joriene, and the spouse of…

I am concerned that year after year, the Centers for Disease Control reports that the United States has not made progress in reducing the number of foodborne Salmonella infections that occur.

I really think you have a good thing going in what I have read on FSMA, and I like very much how you are going about it.

I rise today to introduce legislation to facilitate additional housing and services for Southern California's veterans. It would allow the Department of Veterans Affairs to leverage the resources of local governments and non-profits to…

I rise in strong support of the nuclear agreement with Iran. I do so because I believe this diplomatic achievement provides the only option that prevents Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. I would like to take just a moment to say thank…

it is my understanding that although the Senate had been scheduled to vote at 10:30 on a cloture motion, that time might be changed. However, I wish to make some further remarks in addition to what I said yesterday on the Cybersecurity…

I ask unanimous consent that the time during quorum calls be charged equally to both sides. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

today I am introducing the State Licensing Efficiency Act with my colleagues Senators Lankford, Cotton, Capito, Leahy, Merkley, and Crapo. This bill provides a simple, commonsense change to the Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage…

So I want to say something about jurisdiction of committees. The Homeland Security Committee is certainly free to do a bill. The Judiciary Committee is certainly free to do a bill. We have the one on the Intelligence Committee--and the…

I would like to speak in support of the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act. I had hoped Senator Burr, the chairman of the committee, would be able to deliver the remarks initially. However, he has been unfortunately delayed, and so I…

At the same time, the bill includes numerous privacy protections beyond those contained in last year's bill. Senator Burr and I worked together to address the specific concerns raised by the administration, some of our Senate colleagues…
