Thank you, Senator Wicker, for all your help and support for passing a number of bills to provide us with technical assistance.

You wouldn't provide water that didn't have that necessary tiny bit of chlorine?

I would be happy to do it if it doesn't cause people not to be able to afford their water.

Certainly around the Nation and especially in the State of Mississippi, we have been faced with mesothelioma and asbestosis among industrial workers.

The socioeconomic impacts of this legislation... is completely unworkable.

in a few moments, the Senate will vote on the confirmation of Mary Boyle to be a Commissioner of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, CPSC. It appears that the Democratic leader, Senator Schumer, finally has the votes lined up for…

It is indeed a manmade problem, caused by a project built by the Federal Government, is that not correct?

I commend the Senator from Indiana and join him and my other colleagues in decrying the legislation that we will be asked to move to the floor tomorrow. But before I speak on the substance of the bill, it needs to be reiterated why this…

there are already significant taxpayer mandates in the bill, as it is limiting award size, prohibiting funds from going to so-called foreign entities, such as China, and clawback provisions. Why do we need chips? We need chips for Javelin…

I ask for the yeas and nays. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is on agreeing to the motion. Is there a sufficient second? There appears to be a sufficient second. The clerk will call the roll. The legislative clerk called the roll.

I rise this evening to urge my colleagues to oppose the nomination of Alvaro Bedoya to be a Commissioner of the Federal Trade Commission. Recently, the Commerce Committee deadlocked on this nomination, with all Republican members voting no…

I thank my dear friend from Ohio, and I see that we have been joined by my friend from Connecticut. We did have a bipartisan American delegation in Poland and on the Ukrainian border this weekend. I don't recommend, for tourism purposes, a…

And perhaps we can proceed in colloquy form. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Ms. Hassan). Without objection, it is so ordered.

I thank the distinguished majority leader for working with the distinguished minority leader and with Senator Graham for bringing this important legislation to the floor tonight. It says what many of us have been saying for a long time and…

I rise today during this Black History Month to call attention to two remarkable daughters of the State of Mississippi, two basketball legends: Lusia Harris and Ruthie Bolton. These two Mississippi athletes took women's basketball to new…

During this process, I can imagine that Governor Barbour reflected on the proud list of Mississippi senators who have gone before me and walk the halls where I will now work for our state and nation. Names like John Stennis, Jim Eastland…

For all who are looking for encouragement about the future of our country, I want to call attention to the Fall 2021 issue of ``Public Service Review,'' produced by the Stennis Center for Public Service and available at www.stennis.gov…

a few years back, I was watching a television news show and I saw video that struck me as strange. It was a video taken by a security device outside of a residence. Basically, someone is knocking on the door--multiple doors at this…
