I would just urge you to take prompt and effective action.

I, like my colleagues, support comprehensive data security legislation.

Well, it sounds to me like you're saying that their responsibility was demonstrated beyond a reasonable doubt.

I am pleased and honored to be here today to speak in support of H.R. 5985, the Department of Veterans Affairs Expiring Authorities Act. We will vote on it shortly. I thank my colleagues for what I expect to be an overwhelmingly positive…

I see my friend and colleague, the chairman of the VA Committee, here. I will happily yield to him to speak first, or I can proceed and then yield to him afterwards.

Thank you, Mr. President. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Will the Senator withhold. ____________________

I would like to thank Senators Inhofe and Boxer for their work on the Water Resources Development Act. I would also like to thank them for helping to explain section 2004. As Senator Inhofe noted, this section has caused concern in some…
