Joe was good enough to encourage me as a freshman Senator, when I was considering Committee assignments, to consider this one.

Just a reminder. We have a facility located close to the University of Delaware where we have a number of bioscience companies and large, not so large, but mid-sized and small.

I appreciate the yielding by Senator Whitehouse. Let me just say that if your provision, Senator Whitehouse, does not end up in this bill and we actually do pass it, I am sure we will conference with the House. There will be an opportunity…

We have to be on guard. We have to be ever vigilant.

There is a moral imperative here.

I understand you have established a new Office of Violent Extremism.

It seems that none of the people who are coming are going to join in the fight with ISIS.

The root cause of our unsecured border is literally our insatiable demand for drugs

We need to do both. And the question is: Can we walk and chew gum at the same time? I think we can, and I think we must.

We have to be discussing this in a very serious and honest fashion.

These threats that we face in the Nation are real. They are not diminishing. They are not receding. They are actually growing.

To enhance the economic and national security of America.

We are always asking Secretary Johnson what we can do to help. He is always good to give us a to-do list.

We have this need to make sure that as those 10,000 Syrian refugees come to agree that they are not embedded by a number of folks from ISIS who wish us harm.

Refused to go down without a fight.

There is a real tension here, as you know. We are trying to do the right thing, and at the same time, we are trying to do the other right thing.

We have spent less than 1 percent of that to try to figure out what the root causes are.

I applaud both the House and the Senate for the good work that has been done on cybersecurity legislation.

We have a moral obligation to continue this tradition by taking a reasonable share of Syrian refugees.

I am big root cause guy.

The payback for every dollar we invest in enforcement is six or seven times that amount.

I just do not want you to waste my money.

Ronald Reagan was such a big fan of the EITC program.

The reason why we have the Earned Income Tax Credit is because we want to incentivize people to work.

We have created under the 90-10 rule a loophole which allows a private college or university really to realize all the revenues from the Federal Government, which I do not think is healthy.
