I just think the fundamental question here is once we start saying well this is a slush fund for covering deferred maintenance then, forget it.

Sir, I just want to underline that number. That is 99.25 percent of all lands purchased for the Department of the Interior go for filling in holes that were privately held in the middle of Federal park lands.

I am looking forward to working with my colleagues to reauthorize and fully fund this program so we can continue to have all of the tools we need to protect this land for our kids and our grandkids.

The 3 percent cap is an important step toward fixing the broken noncompetitive market for title insurance.

There are a lot of proposals that are being pitched as improving access to credit that are really about letting the mortgage industry dig deeper into consumers' pockets.

I thank the Senator from Vermont. Motion to Instruct I ask unanimous consent that the pending motion be set aside and that my motion be sent to the desk. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Without objection, it is so ordered. The…

2 years ago today, the people of Boston came face-to-face with terror at the finish line for the Boston Marathon. The cowardly attack and its aftermath took four lives, injured many more, and forever changed the lives of the survivors and…

I support simplifying student loans--the motion that just passed 97 to 0--and I commend Senators King and Burr, but it is not enough. We need to cut the interest rate on student loans. The Federal Government should not be making a profit…

Access to mortgages is painfully tight, especially for people who are not well to do, and we should find responsible ways to increase access to credit.

more than ever, our seniors depend on safety and reliability of Social Security. For 15 million seniors, Social Security is the only thing that stands between them and poverty. For too long in Washington, Social Security has been under…

Two minutes? Oh, 1 minute. I thank the Chair. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Wyoming.

I rise to urge my colleagues to support amendment No. 652, to refinance existing student loans and bring down the high interest rates that are dragging down millions of Americans. When rates are low, people refinance their mortgages. When…

Every single Member of Congress I have spoken with says that they support NIH and they support more medical research, but medical research takes money, and Congress has done absolutely nothing to actually get more money into the Agency.

Dodd-Frank gives you a lot of flexibility in these circumstances.

Is FSOC willing to reverse the designation of a company if it finds that the company no longer poses systemic risk?

The FSOC designation process is critically important to ensuring the safety of our financial system and guarding against another crisis.

Clearly, Congress is choosing to pay up in a big way later on.
