Cory Booker

And so, I see your point. And, I also appreciate that, in your testimony, you discussed how we, in the West, should be trying to discredit--or have Islamic voices discredit Daesh.

This is my final question. I ask the Senator one more time, will you yield for a question?

The question I would like to ask is, Given the fact that the overwhelming majority of Americans support commonsense gun legislation, given the fact that 82 percent of gun owners support closing the terrorist loophole, and given the fact…

The Gateway Hudson Tunnel project to build new rail tunnels under the Hudson River is critical to New Jersey and to the Northeast region.

There is a problem with government-run CVE efforts, because they are delegitimized--really the 'kiss of death'.

The House just recently passed H.R. 4314, the Counterterrorism Screening and Assistance Act of 2016, to accelerate our role in supporting them.

So, after the 9/11 attacks, we created the fusion centers, which I think have been really effective.

Information sharing among EU member States, today, is often compared with where we were pre-9/11.

There were really colossal and consequential intelligence failures on the part of our European allies that allowed some of these horrific attacks to take place.

The devastation, I'm sure you remember, looking at our state, it was catastrophic.

On behalf of my whole entire state, we really do appreciate the important work that you are doing.

These results highlight the potential use of climate change modeling for long-term, season-by-season hurricane prediction, which could really help the U.S. prepare for storms.

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 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 really appreciate both your written testimony as well as the words you spoke.

Hurricanes wreak havoc, bring devastation, and bring pain and agony to families.

This is a very important hearing, but it is also a very timely hearing.

I want to thank Chairman Rubio for having this very important hearing.

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 want to just echo some of the thanks, especially Senator Crapo.

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.

It is incumbent upon Congress to ensure that there are clear rules governing the practice of debt collection.

Earlier this year, Senator Mike Lee and I introduced the Stop Debt Collection Abuse Act.

It is also supported by Chairman Ryan.

I am thankful to be here in support of this legislation that Chairman Hatch and Senator Bennet are introducing.
