It is definitely an honor to come before the Committee again and to share our thoughts and views of the countless tribes that we represent and advocate for their sovereignty and their rights as governments in our American political system.
I appreciate the explanation of the gentleman. And I look forward to working with him to ensure that our Navy gets the finest warship that our combined shipyards can provide.
The Senator wasn't here. I mentioned that I would love for us to work together on a bipartisan basis to effectuate our shared goal.
I believe so. Mr. President, my amendment was filed before the Senator's and his was filed after. I have not read the Senator's amendment, but as modified, the best I have heard from talking to Senator Stevens and listening to the Senator…
The point is, my amendment was going to be $19 million regardless. And my view was, we needed added funding, and this will make it absolutely clear.
Yes, as modified. Thank you. However, the point is it is $19 million, and it shall be appropriated for this function.
I would have to look at the details. That is why I mentioned the Senator from Illinois, and I and others, I think, share the same concern. The main point, the main concern--which is making sure the professional services were there, the…
On June 14, 2006, through an inadvertent error during voting on H.R. 5576, the Transportation-Treasury-HUD Appropriations bill, I was recorded incorrectly as voting no. I ask that the permanent record indicate that on rollcall vote No…
That was my amendment. It was rejected by the Rules Committee. We should at least have had a vote on that amendment on the floor and we do not.
You and Senator Reid, the ranking member, have long been strong supporters of our national labs and specifically the work done at the Jefferson Lab and Brookhaven National Lab. The questions that we collectively pose relate to how we can…
I reclaim my time and then I will yield. I also share with my colleagues that the judge who reviewed this case did not find a violation, for whatever technical reasons Senator Coburn may say, but the adjudication was there is no violation…
I offer my sincere appreciation for Chairman Shelby's willingness to work with me on this issue which is vitally important for America's security and leadership in aeronautics innovation. He has been accommodating to my concerns and…
As my colleague from Alabama may know, aeronautics research at NASA has played an integral role in our country's unrivaled military air power and until recently, our dominance of the commercial aviation market. Specifically, NASA engineers…
Want to add my voice in thanking the chairman, Senator Domenici and the ranking member, Senator Reid, for their commitment to help us keep Jefferson Lab at the forefront of scientific discovery. We appreciate their continued interest and…
No, I object. He is a country gentleman, a legal scholar, a historian, a great storyteller, and an esteemed statesman, all with the joy of life of a 12-year-old boy. He loves his job. He loves the Senate. And we love him and congratulate…
If I could just jump in here, I wanted to come to a conclusion about what this means, these huge deficits, these unprecedented deficits, the highest deficits in American history. They mean higher interest rates in the long run, higher…
Does the Chairman agree it would be worthwhile to explore taking existing industrial technology and applying it to the problem of quickly and reliably identifying at a distance moving individuals at such locations as airports and border…
I also understand that one very promising approach would be to use laser radar to acquire such a three-dimensional image. This technology is highly accurate, and is already used in industrial applications to measure such things as minute…
I wonder if I might take just a minute to ask the Chairman whether I am correct that developing a reliable, automated three-dimensional facial recognition capability has significant implications for our fight against terrorism and would be…
On behalf of Senator McCain, Senator Wyden, myself, and others who are in favor of Internet tax freedom, I respectfully urge my colleagues to vote for cloture on this amendment. What is at stake is whether 15- to 18-percent taxes will be…
Sales and use taxes, if they have a physical presence in that State, yes, they would have to collect and remit those taxes.
The difficulty with mercury is just what the gentleman said. Mercury is a substance that does travel some distance, but lots of it comes down in the vicinity of the power plant itself. So along the Ohio River Valley in east Texas, in other…
There is one other finish to this story. We are not sitting here on the Democratic sides of the aisle making all this up. Yesterday, Secretary Thompson initiated an investigation into these facts: that Richard Foster was threatened with…
I think the people in the States do care just as much if not more and are much more in tune with what they would like to do in their laws than the Federal Government. The difference on .08--I did allude to it, and it is a good, probative…
I would say for the record, Mr. President, no, the senior Senator from Virginia has given me guidance but never in a sense of being an officious nanny whatsoever.
