It is unfair, in my judgment, that farmers, particularly soybean farmers, would be singled out to have to take this hit.

We cannot be in a position where our people cannot compete because they are competing with governments or competing with rules that discriminate against them.

We want to get this bill signed into law.

Our legislation represents a targeted approach for causing behavioral changes while not jeopardizing existing trade flows.

I must also remind you, Mr. Lighthizer, a State like Iowa stands to lose a great deal from retaliation.

we offer you commonsense reforms. More than half of the Senators on that side just voted for a massive amount of funding that we need for border security. We offer that as well, but we also make it easier for authorities to remove…

I have 6 requests for committees to meet during today's session of the Senate. They have the approval of the Majority and Minority leaders. Pursuant to rule XXVI, paragraph 5(a), of the Standing Rules of the Senate, the following…

I come to the floor now to offer brief remarks on the introduction of the latest so-called bipartisan proposal. There is simply no way to say it, but to say it: This proposal fails to meet the mark, will result in massive amnesty, and will…

It seems to be common for a lot of these shootings, in fact, almost all of the shootings, and that is the mental state of the people that are doing it.

some of what I just heard, I can readily agree to. Certain things, such as that we are a nation of immigrants-- no doubt about that. We need immigrants. We take roughly 800,000 to 1 million legal immigrants a year. They are welcomed. We…

I ask unanimous consent that the reading of the amendment be dispensed with. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered. (The amendment is printed in today's Record under ``Text of Amendments.'') The ACTING…

I call up amendment No. 1959. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will report. The senior assistant legislative clerk read as follows: The Senator from Iowa [Mr. Grassley] proposes an amendment numbered 1959.
