Jon Tester: “We need to coordinate between defense, diplomacy, and development to be as effective as possible.”

I ask unanimous consent that the Tester- Daines substitute amendment at the desk be agreed to and the bill, as amended, be considered read a third time. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The amendment (No. 2074)…

During my last two races the democratic Party was poison in my attempts to get re-elected.

It is so really, really important that you guys have the home Senators on board for this stuff.

I think we need to take these things seriously. I think the president and I think, more importantly, the military are taking it very, very seriously.
