I don't want to cut anybody out, but I want to make that point. I yield to Senator Shelby. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Crapo). The Senator from Alabama.

I am not saying it to be ugly. Facts are facts, and I am scared that a Freudian slip--which I am sure that probably was or something like that--might be something that causes us to get lost again. No. 1, I want to point out that in your…

Reserving the right to object and I will yield to the Senator from Alabama. I want everybody to listen closely. Senator, please listen to me closely. You are a great friend. I love you to death. But do you know what you just did? When you…

The country deserves better than this.

It's deplorable what he said.

I just want to say to the gentleman from Ohio that I have been to the Edmund Pettus Bridge. I went there with John Lewis. John Lewis is a great American. I supported title V and the Civil Rights Act. So I appreciate your remarks and your…

To the Democratic leader and Bruce, who is on the floor, congratulations on behalf of all the Republicans in the room. Come down to Atlanta and watch the Braves play the Mets. We would be happy to have you anytime. Thank you for your time…

Your service when working with you has been a privilege. You have done a phenomenal job as Chairman in the House.

How we do it is the only question.

I told this--everybody that is here, all the Members that were here, the people in the audience here, the VSOs here--the issue of dealing with Blue Water Navy is no longer going to be a question.

You guys need to fix that.

Customer service is number 1.

I also am one that believes that foreign assistance makes a lot of sense, not just in the gift of money or investment of money, but in knowledge and skills.

The United States is a caring nation.

We have taken a disease that we thought might wrack out all of mankind to where we have got it on the run.

USAID is without a doubt where America leaves its brightest spot and its mark all over the world.

It was clearly evident there was no other agreement that we were into with any other adversary or potential adversary or ally in the world that had better verification.

I got really into the weeds, probably too deep for a real estate salesman to be able to comprehend.

We are beginning to see the effects of a trade policy that is, at best, not clear and unsettling.
