I ask unanimous consent to speak as in morning business. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. DACA

I announce that the Senator from Maryland (Mr. Van Hollen) is necessarily absent. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Are there any other Senators in the Chamber desiring to vote? The result was announced--yeas 97, nays 2, as follows: [Rollcall Vote…

it has been more than 6 months since a major foreign adversary undertook a cyber act of war against our election. The Russian attack sought to undermine faith in our democratic system and favor one candidate over another-- in this case…

How can that be in the best interest of the health of America and in reducing the cost for these terrible things that we're facing, whether it's cancer or Alzheimer's?

Do you think that's a responsible thing to do in terms of the healthcare of all the people living in America?

I'll tell you what it does achieve, it's a dramatic cutback in research.

The problem with many of our Federal programs is not that they're too expensive or too underfunded, the real problem is they don't work, they fail the very people they are meant to help.

I really tell you this, that if you listen to Dr. Collins, I asked him explicitly, 'What do you need to light up the scoreboard in medical research?' He said, 'I need consistent increases of 5 percent real growth every year.'

Let me just say that your conversation--let's cut enough money and see if we get reform out of it. It's going to mean that 2,000 competitive research grants will be denied because of the Trump budget number.

I will never know why the Trump team decided it was better to waste 6 months without a budget deal.

I hope it does not, where he has to make a fateful decision in a matter of minutes that could involve the loss or jeopardy of thousands of lives.

This is no way for the greatest nation on earth to run the world's most powerful military.

Setting Federal agencies on a budgetary autopilot--whether we are talking about our armed forces, law enforcement, scientific research, or any other program--is destructive and the practice needs to end.

I think right now what we have to look at is what kind of capabilities we bring to them because the Afghans have proven they will fight.

We have a President of the United States with no political or military background whatsoever.

let me say at the outset that I support the position from the Senator from Kentucky. I believe that what he has said about the situation between the United States and Saudi Arabia is timely and needs to be heard. People across the United…

I ask unanimous consent that the text of the bill be printed in the Record. There being no objection, the text of the bill was ordered to be printed in the Record, as follows: S. 1341 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of…

robust funding for the International Affairs Budget and calling proposed cuts shortsighted, counterproductive, and even dangerous.

I share this conviction and believe that at this critical moment, more American leadership--not less--is needed.

I announce that the Senator from Michigan (Ms. Stabenow) is necessarily absent. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Lankford). Are there any other Senators in the Chamber desiring to vote? The result was announced--yeas 95, nays 1, as follows…

And so what did your budget decide to do to this McGovern-Dole school feeding program? You eliminated it.

What's the difference in the poorest places in the world between an educated and an uneducated little girl? I can tell you what it is.

I listened to your explanation of how a 30 percent cut is not that bad, that money isn't the solution to the problem.

And so a fellow by the name of George McGovern, who used to sit in this body and was a great leader in our nation before he passed, came up with an idea.

Let me tell you another situation, which I'm sure you're aware of. As you go into the poorest places on Earth, what you find sadly is a gross mistreatment of little girls and women.
