85 percent of the critical infrastructure in this country is owned by the private sector, and that's one reason that I think mandatory reporting is so critical.

Neera Tanden`s tweets are a problem for her as well.

the hallmark of our American democracy is the peaceful transfer of power after the voters choose their leaders. In America, we accept election results even if our candidate does not prevail. If a candidate believes that there is fraud, the…

I send a question to the desk. The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The question is from Senator Collins and Senator Murkowski. It is for the counsel for the former President. The clerk will read the question. The legislative clerk read as follows…

I am discouraged that the current administration seems not to be interested in pursuing the bipartisan solution.

when Jane Harman left Congress in 2011 to head the Woodrow Wilson Center for International Scholars, she described herself as dedicated to the belief that the political center is where most Americans are and where the best policy answers…

the question before us is quite simple: Do we want stimulus checks to go to households with family incomes of $300,000 or do we want to target the assistance to struggling families who need the help and provide a boost for the economy? I…

our rural hospitals have been particularly hard hit during this pandemic. With that, I would yield to my friend from West Virginia.

I rise to offer an amendment to replenish and strengthen the Provider Relief Fund, which has been a lifeline for hospitals, nursing homes, and community health centers, as well as physician practices across the country, but especially so…

I ask that I be notified when I have 30 seconds remaining. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Chair will do so.

It is great to have a fellow New Englander nominated for this important post.

It should not have taken legislative language in an appropriations bill to get the Department to prioritize the needs of disadvantaged students.

This program is really vital, yet last year the Department announced changes in the formula that was used to determine eligibility for the REAP Program.

This is ridiculous. This is not--the format is not dictated by law. This is arbitrary.

fiscally responsible number

It was an excellent meeting. And we`re very appreciative that, as his first official meeting in the Oval Office, the president chose to spend so much time with us in a frank and very useful discussion.

I wouldn't say that we came together on a package tonight. No one expected that in a two-hour meeting. But what we did agreed to do is to follow up and talk further at the staff level and amongst ourselves and with the President and Vice…

as we face an economic crisis brought on by COVID-19, we will need steady, proven leadership at the Treasury Department. A highly respected economist, Dr. Yellen served first as Vice Chair and then Chair of the Federal Reserve. She has…

I rise today to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Town of Canton, ME. Canton was built with a spirit of determination and resiliency that still guides the community today, and this is a time to celebrate the generations of…

I rise today in opposition of the legislative waiver for the nominee to become the next Secretary of Defense. Since the inception of our Republic, civilian control of our military by democratically-elected civilians has been fundamental to…

Your endorsement by former DNI Director Dan Coats means a great deal to me because he was the model of how that office should be run in a completely nonpartisan, professional way.

Many in the Senate, myself included, did not support this agreement because it did not provide for anytime/anywhere inspections.

let me begin my remarks tonight by expressing my heartfelt gratitude to the members of the law enforcement community and the National Guard whose hard work and courage made it possible for us to resume our deliberations tonight. We return…

I believe that the President has learned from this case.

I appreciate Senator Daines joining me to clarify the intent of the Competitive Health Insurance Reform Act of 2019. This legislation, which Senator Daines has introduced with Senator Leahy, would modify the McCarran-Ferguson Act by…
