I thank the gentleman for a great description of one of the reasons, when they say, you don't want to watch people make sausage or legislation is because there's no telling what goes in it. And that description of the House bill being…

Since the day I met him, he has had the best ideas I have heard on health care, but he's been a voice crying in the wilderness.

I'm honored to be here. I think some might remember in this body that for the last about year, year and a half, I've been getting up here and talking about the rule of law and how the basic foundation of American society is based upon a…

We have a problem here in Washington since the Democrats took control: It's called insanity, specifically, political schizophrenia. Yesterday, the Senate voted to spend another $15 billion in taxpayer money to create a hoped-for 250,000…

This small measure will provide invaluable relief for numerous military spouses who regularly uproot their entire lives to accommodate the needs of our Armed Forces.

It's got to be a high priority for him.

In fact, all the way through at least the George H.W. Bush administration, we were in the forefront of evolving the Kyoto Accords.

I think there would be two basic elements of it. One is an omnibus proposal that could be addressed collectively by the Congress.

I would hope that we would take the leadership role in accurately describing the problem, not exaggerating it, and tying it in with the conservation of energy.

Senators Kerry and McCain recently have sponsored the increased mandatory efficiency of automobiles.
