We want to go back and look at that to see if there is something there that could be changed in just an administrative rule issue.

the plight of the Class C schools around Montana is very, very troubling.

Any kind of thoughts, perhaps, on whether it is a user fee where visitors would be able to contribute to that as well, or just thinking out loud here of ideas to try to generate revenue to cover some of these things?

What alternative funding models do you think need to be explored?

Something has got to give here, it seems like.

The formula needs to be adjusted, best I can tell, first look.

I mean, the partnership here between Gardiner and Yellowstone National Park around thinking about this landlocked situation which might require some Congressional action to work with everyone here

Ms. Costello, my question for you is a little more general in terms of the habits of visitors to Yellowstone National Park.

We are going to start thinking about that longer-term, perhaps.

I think we are violating the principle and the spirit of what is trying to be done on the algebra there.

I remember that distinctly.

If you get to the top of Granite Peak, you can get cell service.

Thank you, Ms. Costello.

as if in legislative session, I ask unanimous consent that the Committee on the Judiciary be discharged from further consideration of H.R. 6896 and the Senate proceed to its immediate consideration. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without…

Last week the Senate passed an opioids package, and I fought to include the Mitigant Meth Act.

This is a direct threat to public safety. Frankly, it is a blatant disregard to the rule of law.

I appreciate that President Trump has made it clear that we are going to secure our borders.

In 2018, ICE Homeland Security Investigations have led to the seizure of nearly 60,000 pounds of meth so far.

I would like to discuss my strong support for the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to be Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. In July I had the opportunity to meet with Judge Kavanaugh in my office, and it was…

I ask unanimous consent that the Senators be allowed to present legislative items at the desk during today's session. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Washington.

I think that is essential.

I believe citizens in Montana should have more of a say in Washington, DC., than illegal immigrants harboring in sanctuary cities across the country.

I do believe having additional data on something as fundamental as citizenship could help Congress better understand the makeup of our States and assist us in making better policies.

High-speed internet is essential to any economy or community looking to succeed in the 21st century.
