Saxby Chambliss

We've obviously had some controversy with respect to WHINSEC, but with the changes that have been made, we now are providing a valuable service to our country because of the relationship that's been developed with Central and South…

I would simply ask you for the record, if this discussion does come up, and there is any consideration of changing current statutes relative to the definition of modifications within depot maintenance, that you commit that you're going to…

All of you are making a real commitment to America, and for that we appreciate it very much.

You have told me you are going to make sure that all segments of agriculture are represented in the Department.

I have been very concerned that the administration has liberally interpreted language in the farm bill.

Will you pledge to adhere to congressional intent in implementing the 2008 farm bill?

I look forward to reporting the nomination out of Committee and quickly approving the nomination on the Senate floor.

I remember the day very well when Judge Bell gave that commencement speech at Mercer Law School because that day his grandson Griffin, III graduated from Mercer Law School, and my son Bo graduated from Mercer that same day. I was…

Because this race has been nationalized, people all around the world have truly had their eyes on Georgia. And you have delivered tonight a strong message to the world that conservative Georgia values matter.

Don't give Barack Obama another vote in the United States Senate.

Saxby Chambliss said he wanted to be a firewall.

Don't give Barack Obama another vote in the United States Senate.

Saxby Chambliss has been calling a firewall in Washington against Barack Obama's agenda because it means that Democrats won't get that 60 vote filibuster proof majority.

You have delivered tonight a strong message to the world that conservative Georgia values matter.

Hey, wherever she wants to go.

If we did not have a 60-vote requirement on amendments, or dealing with any issue in this bill, then it is possible that we could adopt amendments, by less than a majority of the Members of the Senate, which could hamper our intelligence…

Is it the intent of the provision to imply or provide that agricultural or exempt futures contracts that are not currently legal futures contracts, are somehow legal because of these new provisions?

I am happy to confirm with the Senator from Maryland that he understands the provision correctly. The Chesapeake Bay Watershed Conservation Program is to be implemented by the NRCS in addition to EQIP or any other existing conservation…

I would simply ask the Senator, what is your thought on the production by a small farmer versus a large farmer? Who is the one who actually puts products into mainstream agriculture from the standpoint of the quantity of products that are…

I thank Senator Harkin for the courtesies he has extended to me. It truly has been a good working relationship, not just on production of this bill but on every other issue we had all year long. Senator Harkin has been a great partner and…

We have a huge labor problem, and we are in need, in California, in Idaho, in Georgia, and in every part of the country, for agricultural labor to harvest our crops as we move toward the harvest season. The problem with the AgJOBS bill has…

Obviously, I am in favor of a temporary worker program for agriculture. We have one now. Senator Craig, Senator Feinstein, and I worked diligently to try to come to some accord on H-2A reform, but I have to tell the majority leader, we…

We design every farm bill in a way where we try to ensure that the men and women who drive the tractors, who get dirt under their fingernails are the beneficiaries of the payments that do come from Washington. Unfortunately, in spite of…

We've got to face the fact that we've got to create a meaningful, truly temporary worker program for those segments of our economy that need temporary workers.

Today I wish to speak to a critical piece of legislation. It is my hope that this legislation will remedy a situation currently facing hundreds of thousands of hard-working families in Georgia who depend on the State Children's Health…
