Give us the science in a way we can understand it and absorb.

We can't make good policy without good data.

I want to know what choices I am making. I don't want to make choices where I don't understand what the impacts are going to be.

I respectfully request that we have an opportunity to explore that data before we are asked to mark up a bill.

today I wish to honor the 40th anniversary of the Maine Coalition to End Domestic Violence, MCEDV, and its nine member organizations and resource centers: Hope and Justice Project, Partners for Peace, Next Step, New Hope for Women, Family…

A new type of war has emerged in which armed warfare has given up its decisive place in the achievement of the military and political objectives of war to another kind of warfare: information warfare.

Nothing was more to be desired than that every practicable obstacle should be opposed to cabal, intrigue, and corruption.

We have to develop that level of sophistication so that we know when we're being misled.

Right now, there's no price to be paid for meddling in our democracy.

today we remember Richard Dudman, who passed away this August in Blue Hill, ME, at the age of 99. Throughout his long and illustrious career as a journalist, Richard was never one to turn away from a good story, even if chasing it meant…

I hope, as we are working on the rebuilding of the Puerto Rican grid, we can be thinking to the future instead of building a 20th century grid

I want to apologize to you and the witnesses. Speaking of technology, there is no effort made whatsoever around here to schedule hearings in any kind of coordinated way.

So far the Russians aren't paying any price for what they did to our country last year, and they should.

If you're independent minded and willing to take your own position on particular issue and try to reach out and solve problems, that can cost you your seat politically, and that's a dangerous place for us to be in.

Ultimately this is the responsibility of the White House, and I hope and believe that it will be implemented in short order.

I rise not in opposition to the amendment but to compliment the Senator for bringing this issue forward. I intend to support the amendment, but I just want to make the point that this is a broader issue in that we are going to have to…

I think you fellows understated one important point, and I do not understand why the representative from the White House is not here because I think he has a reasonable story to tell.

If all we do is try to patch networks and defend ourselves, we will ultimately lose.

There have to be consequences, otherwise everybody is going to come after us, not just Russia, but North Korea, Iran, and terrorist organizations.

My mind is racing, but I think prudence dictates no response.

I want to just associate myself with the comments and questions that were made by Senator Inhofe and I think Senator Shaheen about open source software and some of the policy discussions we are having here.

Part of the problem also is we tend to want to keep secret what we can do when, in reality, a secret deterrent is not a deterrent.

I listened with interest to the comments of the Senator from Pennsylvania, and as always he was articulate and thoughtful and made a strong case. I would like to speak to the issue we are going to be addressing over the next few days, the…
