Woman, I thank the gentleman for yielding. We passed the same opening of ANWR 14 times in this House, including when the Democrats controlled it, because this was set up by Moe Udall, Senator Jackson, Ted Stevens, and myself for an area…
Todd Young

I appreciate the gentlewoman's comments, but, again, what do you do with a town that has 500 people and the only way to dispose of waste is by burning it or letting it go on the turf, letting it blow around, letting it pollute the other…
I thank the gentleman for yielding. The misinformation you have just heard on the floor: You are not going to save any animals, you are going to help kill animals. I have been to Africa eight times. I have tried to conserve, and I have…
In 2013, the EPA issued new standards on air pollutant emissions for commercial and industrial solid waste incineration, which include the small, remote incinerators used in remote Alaska. My amendment would prohibit the EPA from enforcing…
having served in the Navy and as a Marine Corps officer, I am sensitive to the many challenges facing our veterans. The VA was established almost 90 years ago, so when the VA MISSION Act was passed, it was time for a wide-scale reform to…
I thank the gentleman from Idaho (Mr. Simpson), ranking member of the committee, and I was interested in listening to this conversation. I would really respectfully ask the Member to respect the district which I represent. I am not talking…
I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Remembering Richard Lugar
over the weekend, Indiana lost a giant in Richard G. Lugar. Senator Lugar spent 36 years as a Member of this body, and I rise today to celebrate his life, which made the world a better, safer place to live. I had the pleasure in the early…
I rise today to speak about our booming economy and the stellar jobs report we saw on Friday, thanks in part to tax reform. With tax day just around the corner, I would like to briefly highlight the many benefits American families…
I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 135, strike lines 8 through 15, and insert the following: ``(g) Indian Country Defined.--For purposes…
I rise today to speak about the so-called Green New Deal and its impact on Indiana's agricultural community and our Hoosier farmers. As I said last week, this misguided Green New Deal is unaffordable, unattainable, and unrealistic. In…
I thank Speaker Pelosi for those kind words, the kind words of the Republican leaders, and the kind words of all my colleagues. It was mentioned that I love this institution, and I do because this is the great United States of America, and…
I would like to continue until I complete my remarks. I thank my colleague. We really need to incentivize market-based carbon capture systems and ensure America can continue to cleanly and affordably produce baseload energy. By my…
Well, that is an easy one. I thank my good colleague. I have publicly said for a long period of time--and you can check my record--that I believe the climate is changing. I believe that all flora, fauna, and human beings have some impact…
I rise today in opposition to the so-called Green New Deal. This unaffordable, unattainable, and unrealistic proposal is bad for all Americans, but it is especially bad for the people who live in my home State of Indiana. Indiana is the…
I want to thank former Chairman Bishop and Chairman Grijalva for their work on this legislation. This is a proud moment. We listened to a lot of angst a while ago, and now we look at two people working together to solve a problem. This is…
I rise to talk about an issue that is very important to my constituents in my State of Indiana. It is also an issue that is very close to my heart--the sanctity of life. Tomorrow we know thousands of pro-life advocates from around the…
I ask unanimous consent that the Senate stand in recess subject to the call of the chair. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Thereupon, the Senate, at 4:05 p.m., recessed until 6:09 p.m. and reassembled when called…
I just want to thank the chairman and his staff for working constructively with me on this amendment. I want to thank the Senator from Vermont and other Senators who have tried to do all they can to make sure that we hold Saudi leadership…
Suggesting that we must choose between defeating Iran's efforts in Yemen and permitting unimpeded humanitarian access is a false choice, as self-defeating and short-sighted as it is immoral.
I rise in memory of Fred M. Fehsenfeld, a Hoosier, an innovator, a philanthropist, and a true American hero. Fred was born in Indianapolis in 1924, and he graduated from Shortridge High School. As a sophomore at Purdue University in 1942…
I thank the chairman for the clarification so that I can further clarify for the record that this amendment only applies for purposes of this resolution and in the section I offered it. Let's say in Mali, for example, that our country in…
I thank the Chairman. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Who yields time? The Senator from Oklahoma.
I rise today to urge my colleagues to support amendment No. 4080 to S.J. Res. 54. I introduced this amendment this morning, and I am proud to report that Senators Shaheen, Collins, and Coons are now cosponsoring this important bipartisan…
My intention is to only address the situation in Yemen, and that is precisely what this amendment does--nothing more, nothing less. Back to the example of Mali and French aircraft, there would be absolutely no application of this amendment…
