I think this is a problem that you can work out.

I think it may be like--some of these programs like the victims of child abuse program is a pretty small amount of money for the whole country, but it does somehow leverage lots of local contributors as well as State money.

I suggest the absence of a quorum. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Tillis). The clerk will call the roll. The senior assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.

I thank my colleague for yielding. When Senator Coons and I came to the Senate about 6 years ago, it was about the time we formed the Law Enforcement Caucus. Over that 6 years, we have been continually reminded of how those who run toward…

I am here today to urge support for the act that counters Iran's devastating and destabilizing activities. I am proud to be a cosponsor of the bill. This bill would expand sanctions on individuals who are contributing to Iran's ballistic…

I believe significant reductions to programs like Career and Technical Education, TRIO, and Federal Work Study will make it harder for students to get into and complete college, and go on to well-paying jobs.

I hope we have maximum flexibility as you come up with the implementation rules on year-round Pell.

I think it is likely that the kinds of cuts that are proposed in this budget will not occur.

This seems about a massive transfer of money from the public sector to the private sector, with no protections around it.
