Perhaps the handgun example can remind me of my father's advice that even the worst person can serve as a bad example.

we want to be partners. To the extent you can tell us what could be changed in terms of regulation, in terms of congressional requirements, please do so.

Structure is policy.

I called my motion up that is now on the floor of the U.S. Senate. It is a very simple one. It may be one of the most straightforward, short motions to be offered in the course of this debate. The motion is very simple. It refers this bill…

I have a motion at the desk. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the motion. The senior assistant legislative clerk read as follows: The Senator from Maine [Mr. KING] moves to commit the bill H.R. 1 to the Committee on Finance…

The real question being ask tonight is, what tax bill? Believe it or not Anderson, nobody's seen it.

I use the word 'preposterous' that later today or tomorrow, we are going to pass a bill that is going to take between a minimum of $1.5 trillion and probably more like $2.2 trillion out of the budget.

The Bangor City council wouldn't amend the leash law with a process like this. I mean it's embarrassing.

But to me for him to say it's going to hurt me, that doesn't square with what we saw from his '05 return.

The reason Iran is not North Korea today is because of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) that was passed 2 years ago.

I think that is a serious national security concern.

What will probably keep happening is that we will see an increased neutering of the State Department and of diplomacy more broadly.

Defending the national security of the United States involves a continuum, it seems to me, that goes from diplomacy to war.

It's just a hell of a way to run a railroad.

Applications are down something like 30 percent.

I am very disappointed that that is not part of the discussion.

To call this a circus would be an insult to circuses.

I did a mathematic calculation a couple of years ago, and it resulted in an interesting conclusion. The Senate is a rural body. Eighteen Members of the U.S. Senate represent a majority of Americans. That means 82 percent--or 82 out of 100…

before addressing the topic that I want to take up--and I know it is one that is near and dear to the Presiding Officer's heart--which is rural healthcare, I want to express my admiration and thanks to Senator Reed, the Senator from Rhode…

I would like to recognize the efforts of the many organizations that have agreed to come together to establish a single continuum of care for the State of Maine. Continuums of Care are supported by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban…

Clearly, we need to amend Stafford so that it is not simply rebuild what was there before.

I don't wish to take much of the Senate's time, but I want to emphasize and echo the comments made by the Senator from Tennessee. He and his ranking member, Patty Murray of Washington, have done a magnificent job. What I want to emphasize…

today we remember the life of Bernard ``Bernie'' Shaw, who passed away earlier this year at the age of 88. As a lifelong resident of Maine, a wonderful husband and father to three, and a champion for agriculture, future generations will…

I do not see how you can say this looks fine unless you know how many wells, how many miles of pipeline, or where they will be located.
