We agreed that the active promotion of these fundamental values only reinforces American leadership in Asia.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

I am honored to chair the Subcommittee this Congress and look forward to working with the Subcommittee's Ranking Member, Senator Manchin.

The Energy Subcommittee is certainly important to my home state of Colorado.

As we close this hearing today, and I do truly appreciate your time and testimony today because this is a very useful exercise as we learn more about the problem ourselves and challenge ourselves and try to do our best to coordinate the…

I have introduced a bipartisan bill to create a Senate Select Committee on Cybersecurity.

It is an important hearing as we talk about infrastructure, because we know what Denver's new airport did 20 years ago.

But yet we hear from airports across Colorado--Durango, Grand Junction, Colorado Springs, and Denver have all said that raising the PFC is critical to meeting their long-term infrastructure needs.

I look forward to working with my colleagues across the aisle to make sure we fill this vacancy on the Supreme Court with one of this Nation's truly brilliant legal minds. Mr. President, I yield the floor. I suggest the absence of a…

I rise to support the nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch to the U.S. Supreme Court. Hopefully, we will see his confirmation in the weeks to come. As I have come to the floor and talked about before, Judge Gorsuch is a fourth-generation…

I have 6 requests for committees to meet during today's session of the Senate. They have the approval of the Majority and Minority leaders. Pursuant to Rule XXVI, paragraph 5(a), of the Standing Rules of the Senate, the following…

Thank you. It's a huge development for Colorado that puts my constituents in the southwest one step closer to accessing in-state television broadcasts.

I know the Presiding Officer is a fellow westerner, from a State that is impacted by decisions made by our public lands management agencies, whether that is the Bureau of Land Management or the Forest Service. Both Colorado and Arizona, as…

One of the most important goals of our national telecommunications policy should be to close the urban-rural broadband divide.
