David Perdue

That is comforting. Thank you.

But the ultimate priority really exists in the--or resides in the Budget Committee, right?

I found three things this morning in a bipartisan way that I agree with the Ranking Member today.

I would like to make a few comments about the current immigration system. That seems to be the topic of the day recently. I want to tell you some of us have been working on this for years. Some in this body have been working on it at least…

as an outsider to this process, one of the first realizations was that, as I got here, things don't always move in a linear fashion from point A to point B. Many times, the people who are trying to move an issue from point A to point B…

today I was honored to be invited to the White House and included in a small meeting with President Trump, and it was very clear that I was invited to the White House to stand firm with President Trump today. We talked about immigration…

I thank the chairman for the clarification and appreciate his outstanding leadership and work on this important and historic legislation. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from New Mexico. DACA

I come from a different world. I come from the real world. I have been here just a couple of years, but this sort of rhetoric that we have heard on the floor of the Senate over the last few weeks is amazing to me. The disinformation, the…

I rise today to engage in a colloquy with my friend and colleague, the distinguished chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, Senator Hatch. I would like to confirm my understanding of the modification of the section 958(b) stock…

last week the Senate finally broke through the gridlock and voted to change our archaic Tax Code once and for all. It only took 31 years to get here. As to regulatory relief, so far this year this body and this administration have removed…

I have heard 'sense of urgency' mentioned several times. As an ex-business guy and seeing this crisis, I am terribly encouraged by what you all are doing.

as an outsider to this process in this body, when we get to a major issue like this, I really become very troubled. What we are trying to do today is historic. What we have been trying to do all year--this process has been under debate all…

I ask unanimous consent that the time on the King motion be extended until 4:30 p.m. today, with all other provisions of the previous consent remaining in effect. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Without objection, it is so…

I ask unanimous consent that Madison Lynn, a fellow in my office, be granted floor privileges for the remainder of the day. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. ____________________

Thank you, Mr. President. When President Trump took office, he said that job No. 1 this year was getting the economy growing again. As a business guy--I am going to speak very quickly because I think the majority leader is on the way down…

I wish to thank my colleague from Colorado. I will not tell him what I was doing in 1986, the last time we adjusted the tax rate, but I just want to remind our colleagues today that we are in a moment of crisis in the United States. Today…

I say to the Presiding Officer, like you, I am a relative newcomer to this body. It is an enormous privilege and responsibility to be a Member. Like you, I come from the real world, spending a career where your word is your bond, and…

since 2001, the Federal Government has exploded in constant dollars from $2.4 trillion in 2000 to last year almost $3.9 trillion in costs. Those are constant dollars. In September of this year, just a few weeks ago, our national debt…

I have great news. This is the last amendment and the only bipartisan amendment tonight, and after this we will vote on the entire bill. The purpose of this amendment is to declare this process--the vote- arama--utter nonsense. It is part…

I think I am the only one standing between this body and a vote on something that 2 years ago I didn't know existed, and that is a ``vote-arama'' in local Senate terms. Being an outsider to the political process, I find a lot of this very…

I think Representative McHenry has already--he has the PROTECT Act that you may be familiar with that they are proposing.

I would like to echo what my esteemed colleague from Missouri has outlined in the last few minutes. His leadership on this issue is pronounced, and his experience on this floor is not to be underestimated. I appreciate his leadership on…

One of the things I am concerned about is that China, not only in the United States, but their investment in infrastructure in Africa and other parts of the world, they are leading toward investments of next-generation technologies, and…

I think it is outrageous that the last day before we left for August break we confirmed 65 nominations in 1 day because of a back-room deal.

we have had a lot of action today in the Senate, which is unusual here, and I wish to address it. I would like to address this to the people in Texas, Louisiana, and to all of those who just experienced the devastating results and the…
