Frank Lautenberg

today marks a time in America that must always in the future be remembered. It cannot be forgotten, because it was the worst day on American soil in modern times. The worst day. It was the attack on the World Trade Center in New York…

Let me be clear: when it comes to safety, we all agree that we cannot afford unnecessary delays.

Nuclear energy is critical to meeting our nation's energy needs.

Senator Frank Lautenberg and Representative Peter King introduced legislation, S. 34 and H.R. 720, respectively, to close this glaring security gap in Federal explosives law.

I rise today out of disbelief with the rhetoric coming from Republicans and their Presidential candidate concerning the U.S. relationship with Israel. Frankly, it pains me to see that a political trip to Israel is carried with a message to…

before the senior Senator from Massachusetts leaves the floor, I wish to commend him for his constant leadership on matters of a better environment, more effective ways to get our energy without spoiling the environment and putting what…

Does the chairman also agree that this language subjects to penalties U.S. parent companies if their foreign subsidiaries knew or should have known that the subsidiary was directly or indirectly doing business with an Iranian entity, even…

I thank Chairman Johnson for all of his work on this important Iran sanctions package. Iran continues to defy numerous United Nations Security Council resolutions. It funds Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist organizations, and it…

And does the chairman agree that this requirement that the foreign subsidiary knew or should have known that they were doing business with Iran relates only to the actual business transaction and does not require that the subsidiary had or…

Does the chairman agree that the language in the bill currently under consideration would apply the same penalties that can be imposed on U.S. companies that directly violate the U.S. trade ban to those U.S. parent companies whose foreign…

I rise today to engage in a colloquy with my friend, the distinguished Chairman of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, regarding HR 1905, the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012. I want to…

I find it quite incredible that we are still raising the question about whether global warming is a real problem.

There has been an attempt to discredit science, and it goes on continually.

One license more, and that is, how come the things we are seeing are not really there? This is the mystery that we are facing here.

This year, my state of New Jersey will lose out on an estimated two hundred million dollars of sales taxes owed but not collected on out-of-state purchases.

Relatively small. Well, they seemed to raise quite a degree of doubt in the scientific community that your analysis that the changes were relatively small; I do not think it is the popular view.

But a hoax is a produced action to deceive people.

In a trip that I made with some of my colleagues here to Greenland, and ultimately I went down to the South Pole, and species mammals had radical changes in their population over this period of time.

In 2003, in this very room, we heard that global warming was the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people.

Well, then, they're part of a price-gouging ring.

it is a terrible time in our country. The entire country is in mourning for the 12 innocent people who were gunned down in Aurora, CO, last week. Our thoughts and our prayers are with dozens more still recovering from their wounds. We are…

it's the equivalent of having a gun pointed at a person and threatening their health at every turn and seeing, apparently, a network that prospers with this kind of activity.

Is it justifiable that at the end, the patient is there, begging for mercy, begging for life, and having to pay an outrageous price?

Is it your testimony that a markup of that magnitude is justified and appropriate?
