Roy Blunt

I continue to see the Department benefit, and I think Missouri and American agriculture benefit by your leadership.

I said because I think he's committed to get this job done.

I think the goal here would be to come up with some language legislatively, if there is no other way to do it, so that money can be invested in U.S. Treasuries or some other vehicle that provides income for the project that is being…

Why are you allowing environmental groups to dictate the 5-year leasing program?

I think people's desire to be able to offer some recognition when they are talking to donors, it is usually a recognition of a relatively modest impact.

I am glad you are looking at that the way you are.

Thank you, Chairman. Secretary, congratulations on getting the opportunity to launch the second hundred years of the National Park Service.

Is there any comparative number to what would normally be acceptable there?

Let me mention a few of those, but I will submit all 22 for the Record. As early as March of 2008, the President said: I take the Constitution very seriously. The biggest problems that we are facing right now are things that don't go…

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mrs. Ernst). Without objection, it is so ordered. The Senator from Missouri. President's Executive Order

last week I was glad to see that a Federal judge in Texas issued a preliminary injunction against the President's Executive order on immigration. This ruling, if upheld--and I believe it will be--reaffirms that President Obama was right…

I ask unanimous consent that the Senate now stand in recess until 2 p.m. today. There being no objection, the Senate, at 12:51 p.m., recessed until 2 p.m. and reassembled when called to order by the Presiding Officer (Mr. Hoeven)…

I think the President said this was a good example of our successful policy.

I told you that I didn't think you could contain enrichment, and I still don't.

I think in too much of our discussion with countries around the world, we have talked about the right to worship.

I think you are saying the same thing, and I appreciate that answer.

I think we have been wanting in that area in the department.

I heard the remarks earlier today about how we need to move forward with the Department of Homeland Security funding bill without any reaction to the President's Executive actions of last year. One way to see if that would really meet the…

I wish to follow on the comments of my good friend and neighbor from Arkansas, Senator Boozman. He was talking about what the President is now asking the Congress to do. I think there are many questions that need to be asked about this…

But I think you're now--is it fair to say that the intelligence community has to begin to reevaluate how we--what you answered, reevaluate how those insurgencies may match up against the ability to face them?

Another question I have. I noticed in the information the President sent up yesterday for the Congress to look at the focus was against ISIL or associated persons or forces.

I hope we can begin to focus more on those ports.

Thank you, Senator Fischer, for holding this hearing, and you and Senator Blumenthal for drawing attention to this issue.

We are. Nobody is proposing that we should include a specific timeframe in any law that we require notification in.

I wish to follow up on what the majority whip has been talking about. Clearly the country is and should be concerned by the President's unilateral Executive action on immigration. He announced this action on November 20 of last year. The…
