DERA provides voluntary incentives to refit older diesel engines with American made technology.

Did the three of you rehearse this before the hearing started? That was pretty good.

I want to thank him, and I especially want to thank Jim Inhofe for his leadership, and Sheldon Whitehouse for his leadership.

I love what the Senator from Minnesota just said. I am a retired Navy captain. For years we had healthy competition among the different branches of our services. I salute the folks in the Army, the Marines, the Air Force, and Coast Guard…

I was Governor from 1993 to 2001. We started in a recession and ended up with 6, 7 really strong years, as you recall, during the Clinton administration. We were able to balance our budget 8 years in a row, cut taxes 7 out of 8, pay down…

Senator Cardin and I serve together on the committee called Environment and Public Works in the Senate. One of the issues we deal with is clean air. This conversation about predictability and uncertainty that businesses seek is not just in…

This Department is scattered all over Hell's Half Acre. We have 40 or 50 entities that are spread all over the greater Washington area.

I want to say a kind word about our Presiding Officer. He heard me say this before. I will say it again. He may recall having cosponsored legislation in 1993, offered by John Chafee and cosponsored by Orrin Hatch and others, that actually…

something the Senator from Washington said just reminded me--after we heard the news that Republicans are going to go back to the drawing board and see what they can come up with maybe during the Fourth of July recess, I did a radio…

I am Tom Carper, and I approve that message.

Thank you for raising this young man or young woman and preparing them for this opportunity, this responsibility.

This is a woman after my own heart. These guys up here have heard me talk about root causes for much of the last--I do not know how many years.

it is good to see you this afternoon. I rise in support of the nomination of Kristine Svinicki to hold a third term as a member of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, known as the NRC. Many Senators heard from our chairman on the…

today I am introducing legislation to adjust the boundary of the Coastal Barrier Resources Act, CBRA, map unit for North Bethany Beach, Delaware. I am pleased to be working in this effort with the junior Senator from Delaware, Mr. Coons…

Our same President has described the Trans-Pacific Partnership as the greatest danger to our country yet.

I think they had a deal where, in financial services, we would be competing with a state-owned, state-operated bank that would not only be our competitor, but also our regulator.

Our President, in a private meeting apparently last week or so, described the House-passed Republican health care bill as 'mean,' I think maybe 'too mean.'

I remain concerned about China's proposed regulations that will require U.S. cloud service providers to transfer their intellectual property.

We do indeed intend to set a high bar in our renegotiation of the NAFTA.

Can you give us some assurance that the administration plans to ensure that the so-called TiSA negotiations, TiSA, I believe, is Trade in Services Agreement, don't fall by the wayside as we go forward?

I was a strong supporter of TPP, disappointed, however, that the TPP agreement excluded the financial services sector from the prohibition on data localization requirements.

I hope that we will take a strong interest in Canada, not just with respect to poultry, but other agriculture products.

I thank my friend for yielding. I take the train back and forth from time to time to my home State. I am going to try to get on a train later tonight to go home. Thank you for letting me have a few minutes.

earlier, just before the leader came to give his closing remarks for the day, I was talking about that Michael Davis is going to be a freshman at Middletown High School about 20 miles south of Newark where 896 intersects with I-95. I was…

it is nice to see the Presiding Officer again today--again and again. I don't know if I will be your last speaker, but I will try not to keep you here too long just in case. I know the Presiding Officer has been through Delaware a time or…
