Roy Blunt

This is a big challenge for the individual that has a behavioral health problem, but it can be an equally big challenge for people who care about them.

Roy Blunt said it has been going--the GSA has been doing this for us so long that nobody even remembers when it didn't happen.

there are really few jobs in the country as difficult, as dangerous, and as demanding as the sacrifice of being a law enforcement officer. I would suggest the one job that may possibly be harder--and certainly in my view is as hard--is to…

I ask unanimous consent to speak for up to 5 minutes before the scheduled rollcall vote. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

The ability to secure your border--to follow my good friend from Ohio, the ability to secure your border is actually one of the fundamental responsibilities of a legitimate government. Even former President Obama, within the last few…

I have been on the floor most of the day today, and I think I heard virtually every speech given. I was reminded again, as the day went on, of really the broad-based talent of people in the Senate. I spent some time, a couple of years ago…

the Senate is designed to be a place where the Members of the minority party and the millions of Americans they represent are heard. In this Senate, the minority could not be any bigger. In fact, if the minority were any bigger, we would…

I ask unanimous consent that the rollcall vote be announced. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The question is, Will the Senate advise and consent to the Witkowsky nomination?

on Monday, the United States set a new pandemic record with more than 1 million new cases in 24 hours. I am sure you and I and everyone who is thinking about this would have hoped we would be in a very different place right now than we…

Hiring people, annuitants who have retired but are willing to come back to work is one of your thoughts?

No will never be the answer again.

Close to a year. Hiring people, annuitants who have retired but are willing to come back to work is one of your thoughts?

I think I speak for the Chairwoman of the Committee and certainly I can for myself, and we are looking forward to working with you.

These officers were the true heroes of January 6th. They defended the Capitol and everyone who works here bravely and without hesitation.

We were able to show the world that when our system is tested, it will prevail.

Everyone who took part in that attack should be prosecuted based on their actions and plans.

I think it is a good opportunity for us to talk to the Chief and to think about the great, extraordinary bravery and service that the Capitol Police force provided not only on January the 6th, but frankly, every single day.

Obviously, in my view, a bigger problem for them is the overwork and the extended stress of being short so many officers.

If I understood your thought also of hiring 280 new officers a year for the next three years, understanding that other officers will retire and find other opportunities, and you--that number sounds about right to me to get up to where you…

The January 6th attack on the United States Capitol was a tragic day for our country.

Dr. Francis Collins, the Director of the National Institutes of Health, will retire this month after serving as the Director since 2009. That will be 12 years in one of the most challenging jobs in Washington, maybe even in the world. Dr…

Thank you and Ranking Member Capito for not only holding the hearing, but for inviting the two of us to attend as you look at this piece of legislation.

Thank you again for holding this hearing, for looking at this bill.

This legislation would boost Missouri's outdoor recreation economy.

This bill would help fund critical conservation efforts in our State and our grasslands.
