I rise today to comment on something that is somewhat misunderstood in many parts of our country, and that is the farm bill. I have the privilege to sit in a seat of the U.S. Senate once held by Saxby Chambliss, a former chairman of this…
I ask unanimous to call up amendment No. 2870 to amendment No. 2282. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? The Senator from Maryland.
I don't disagree that we need to send a strong message to people doing business with the United States. However, the Commerce Department has imposed a severe fine in the ZTE case--a $1.7 billion fine--in addition to penalties and…
one of the great honors in this body is to bring a contrasting point of view to the topic of the day. I hope to do that today. Many colleagues in this body have voiced concerns on both sides of the aisle, frankly, about President…
I want to say this before we get started, though. It has been a year, and I am very proud of the way that this Secretary has gotten out of Washington and gone to see the real people.
This is the most bipartisan committee that I am on, and I think this is a model for the rest of the Senate about how to get things done.
I rise today to talk about a milestone that happened about 3 weeks ago. We have a couple of interesting dates. April 15 just passed. We call it tax day. But it was another day. It was also the date we were supposed to complete the Senate…
it is also important for the U.S. to continue to invest in long-term scientific research
I ask unanimous consent that the Senate stand in recess until 5:30 p.m. today. There being no objection, the Senate, at 4:21 p.m., recessed until 5:33 p.m. and reassembled when called to order by the Presiding Officer (Mr. Rubio)…
today is tax day, 2 days later than April 15 actually, but nonetheless, today is tax day. I rise to speak about the impact of what we have done over the last 15 months to affect the future of our free enterprise system in America. When…
if there is no further business to come before the Senate, I ask unanimous consent that it stand adjourned under the previous order. There being no objection, the Senate, at 6:54 p.m., adjourned until Thursday, April 12, 2018, at 9:15 a.m…
I ask unanimous consent that when the Senate completes its business today, it adjourn until 9:15 a.m., Thursday, April 12; further, that following the prayer and pledge, the morning hour be deemed expired, the Journal of proceedings be…
It is the only regulatory body I can find that has no oversight by the U.S. Congress.
I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Sullivan). Without objection, it is so ordered. Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Bill
it is not often I get to come to the U.S. Senate with an uplifted heart, but today I do. Yesterday, two-thirds of this body got together on an issue that is so important to Main Street America and agreed. After weeks of negotiation and…
reserving the right to object, I, for one, really appreciate the Senator's attempt to solve this issue. Our hearts are very similar. But a temporary solution, such as the one the Senator from Arizona has proposed, is not a solution, as he…
I thank the Senator and am honored to follow my good friend from North Dakota. It took courage for the Senator from North Dakota to be a leader on this issue in committee. The Banking Committee fought hard and long on this issue. I think…
the 2 percent goal is important, it is also critical that our allies invest in real warfighting capability
the danger it has to the world order we enjoy today, where representative democracies in the free world dominate the cultural/political situation.
Do we have the supply chain now? If not, how long will it take to develop that supply chain to meet those needs?
I rise to talk about the topic of the week. Although some of us have been working on this for some time, many of us in this body have actually been addressing this for over the last 20 years or so. I am new to this body, as I have only…
