The number of 22 per day is inaccurate, and we need an independent third party to come in and do a complete study.

It should never, ever occur. Never without your authorization.

This is one of my priorities, is working with veterans and mental health issues.

We owe it to them to send them anywhere they feel comfortable.

I am very glad that our allies are improving their relationships to counter the Chinese aggression.

I think it's wise to remember that all of us that serve in the Senate probably have constituents and families in our States that have members that were killed overseas as a direct result from those EFPs.

We are between a rock and a hard place right now. Most certainly.

This will be one of the most significant votes that we take as members of Congress, moving forward.

I am very concerned regarding the Government's ability to detect, deter, and defeat cyber attacks on our Government, particularly by China, Russia, and Iran.

I tell you, even the best laid plans can go awry, because we had really kind of an uprising amongst the people around those landfills.

I think that would be a great step going forward.

We cannot go back and make it any faster in the past, but moving forward, is there a guide or an SOP, standard operating procedures, that APHIS can put out in a little pamphlet or just an easy way for our folks to know where to go, who to…

This has had a horrible, horrible impact on Iowans

I would encourage that in the future as something that we take into consideration rather than utilizing some of these biofuels from other countries.

The impact to our U.S. consumers, if they do have that choice and are using E15, it is typically anywhere from a nickel to a dime lower, even, than the E10.

I would say, too, that, just going a little bit further, I mean, I have a diagram--you can pull this up on the Internet--where all of those E85 pumps are located, and you will see that most of them are in the Upper Midwest.

For any State, any investors in any State to move forward, they want to know that there is going to be a set volume and a demand for those products

I look forward to working with you, Ms. McCabe, and talking more about kind of what the future holds.

We have the two cellulosic plants that are up and moving, and we have a third set to come online

I would argue that we need to continue investing in this area and make sure that it is available.

Today I am introducing the Program Management and Improvement Accountability Act with Senator Heitkamp, and the bill targets wasteful spending in Government.

I have been concerned our veterans are not receiving the highest quality of mental health care at many VA facilities.
