Serious questions regarding whether Amazon should be selling its technology to law enforcement at this time.

Thank you, Madam President. Again, I want to thank the Senator from South Dakota for his great leadership on this legislation. I think it is a start. It is a revolution in the telecommunications industry that we are going to be voting on…

Due to a regrettable clerical error, the senior Senator from Maine, Ms. Collins, was not added as an original cosponsor and co-lead of S. 1421, the Ghost Army Congressional Gold Medal Act, when we introduced the bill together on May 9…
