I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Franken). Without objection, it is so ordered. USDA APHIS Memo

What is ironic about this forum is there is little science involved. It is little more, in my view, than the Department of Agriculture spending taxpayer dollars on a forum to provide the Humane Society of the United States a public forum…

2 weeks ago, I spoke on the Senate floor about some of my concerns with the pending legislation that we have been talking about now--a number of appropriations bills--including the committee report on agriculture. The last time we visited…

The supercommittee is at a standstill. The Democrats won't consider cuts to entitlement programs if the money is primarily to pay for cutting taxes on the wealthy. Republicans won't consider raising taxes on the wealthy from their…

the pending business before the Senate is an amendment I offered yesterday, Moran No. 815. There has been agreement that it will be accepted on voice vote, and I appreciate the leadership of Chairman Kohl and Ranking Member Blunt. I yield…

the amendment I am offering today was one I discussed in the agricultural appropriations subcommittee. I am a Member of that subcommittee and am very interested in the topic of the appropriations for the Department of Agriculture. This…

I am here today, as we debate H.R. 2112, the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, to address a particular provision that, in my view, needs to be addressed. I also hope to…

I ask unanimous consent the pending amendment be set aside and the Moran amendment No. 815 be made the order of the day in the Senate. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The clerk will report. The bill clerk read…

I ask unanimous consent the reading of the amendment be dispensed with. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The amendment is as follows: On page 6, line 17, insert ``: Provided further, That $8,000,000 of the amount…

I ask unanimous consent to address the Senate for up to 10 minutes. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered. ____________________

I want to talk about education that is occurring at Fort Leavenworth, KS. I want to call my colleagues' attention to the important work that is being done in our Nation's heartland to educate the next generation of military leadership at…

I commend the Senator from Tennessee for his remarks. I believe that while what happens in Washington is important, we really do change the world one person at a time, and it happens at home in classrooms across America each and every day…

in large and small communities across our country, way too many Americans find themselves placed in danger by the very people who are supposed to love and protect them--their families. Each year, more than 2 million women are victims of…

I thank the very distinguished leader from California (Mr. Waxman). Over 30 years ago, Congress accepted the legal responsibility to protect human health, conserve our natural resources, reduce waste, and ensure that waste is managed in an…

I would have to say, as important as it is to protect jobs, it's important to protect lives. We have a responsibility to protect lives. You heard what's in this material. You can see why it's a national responsibility. So let's fulfill…

As we know, airstreams and rivers and other bodies of water don't stop at a State's border. If that is the case, how is it fair for one State to let that pollution go into a downstream State's water? That's our concern.

I am here on the floor today to share a few thoughts on a topic that has a daily impact upon the lives of Americans. It is the topic we have had front and center now for a long time--job creation. Whether a mom or dad can find a job…

I thank my friend. Madam Speaker, how much floor time do we have to spend on redundant legislation that will surely die in the Senate and has already been threatened with a veto? We've had this debate. We know what the final result will…

Its success will depend upon enforcement.

I believe Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons is one of the greatest dangers to global stability and the security of our country that we face today.

Clearly, more must be done to pressure Iran to change course and we cannot afford further delay.

I do understand the concern that my very good friends have expressed on the Democratic side about the threat of violence in Colombia and the loss of jobs in America. What I don't understand is how voting against this trade agreement helps…

I thank the gentleman for his leadership. I would like to quote Bruce Bartlett, who was the economics adviser to both President Ronald Reagan and President George H. W. Bush. He said this in an article in The New York Times this week…
