I rise today to join my colleagues in supporting the conflict-of-interest rule that was recently finalized by the Department of Labor. This is a fair and balanced rule that protects our Nation's retirees and savers. In fact, it is a rule…
On behalf of my whole entire state, we really do appreciate the important work that you are doing.
Do you believe that if Congress and the administration were to invest more in R&D in this area, that it would significantly help in our preparedness, could potentially save many, many lives and help us avert significant economic damage?
I really appreciate both your written testimony as well as the words you spoke.
I have some concerns that we are not investing enough in R&D, and there is this urgent need to significantly increase our research and development in this area.
I appreciate seeing the Presiding Officer in the chair and having a ``Corey'' represented and presiding over the U.S. Senate. I rise today to speak against an amendment now pending to this bill that would block a rule that seeks to fulfill…
Today I wish to introduce the Law Enforcement Officers' Equity Act, a common sense bill that would fix a loophole in Federal law that denies many Federal law enforcement officers Federal benefits. This week, as our Nation pauses to honor…
Earlier this year, Senator Mike Lee and I introduced the Stop Debt Collection Abuse Act.
It is incumbent upon Congress to ensure that there are clear rules governing the practice of debt collection.
I rise to discuss--along with my friends and colleagues on the Senate floor--what is a momentous anniversary for our country, the 62nd anniversary of the Brown v. Board of Education decision, its legacy, and the work that still remains…
I am excited about this bill because it is looking to the future, new innovation that doesn't pose these kinds of threats that we are dealing with.
If any of us lived in the shadow of this nuclear plant and you had this kind of failure of the bolts, that large of a percentage, it really is frightening.
I am thankful to be here in support of this legislation that Chairman Hatch and Senator Bennet are introducing.
We need to create a Government regulatory climate where these folks can flourish, and we are not putting undue cost burdens on them, correct?
These are innovators who are really critical for advancing nuclear in terms of the safety, in terms of being able to better deal with challenges we have like the waste from current light water reactors as well as deal with problems we have…
The historic Paris Climate Agreement set ambitious goals to target and limit global warming to 1.5 centigrade above pre-industrial levels.
In the minute I have left, obviously Senators Crapo and Inhofe come at this from a different direction than we do.
By 2050, meeting the Paris targets would require us to cut emissions by up to 70 percent while producing 70 percent more electricity.
There is no way that renewable pace will keep up with the demands we are having.
Meeting the rising global demand for energy while simultaneously slashing carbon emissions presents a very difficult challenge for this generation.
