I apologize to everyone for having to wait. We were trying to get some things cleared, and it didn't work. ____________________

I am disappointed my colleague's amendment is not going to be part of this, but maybe we can work on that at a subsequent time.

I appreciate my friend yielding. Mr. President, I read into the Record in some detail today a letter that he wrote with Senator Leahy talking about what has gone on in recent years with border security. Our country is very fortunate to…

A provocative act? If my friend is so interested in regular order, why have we waited 3 months to go to conference on the budget? On the budget. That is regular order. Now, suddenly, when it works to their advantage, I guess, they want to…

Following leader remarks the Senate will be in a period of morning business for 1 hour. The majority will control the first half and the Republicans the final half. Following morning business the Senate will resume consideration of S. 744…

If there is no further business to come before the Senate, I ask unanimous consent that it adjourn under the previous order. There being no objection, the Senate, at 6:39 p.m., adjourned until Wednesday, June 12, 2013, at 9:30 a.m…

I would ask the Chair at this time to recognize the Senator from Hawaii, Mr. Schatz, who replaced Senator Inouye. I understand he is going to give his maiden speech in the Senate today. I would ask that the Chair recognize him. The ACTING…

Following leader remarks--and today we will hear from Senator McConnell first--the Senate will resume the motion to proceed to the comprehensive immigration legislation. The time until 12:30 will be equally divided and controlled between…

This legislation reauthorizes the transition, retraining, and employment services created by the VOW to Hire Heroes Act.

It also further enhances the VOW to Hire Heroes Act by creating a new, unified, online employment portal for veterans.

For me, this is simply shameful.

Following leader remarks the Senate will resume the motion to proceed to S. 744, the immigration bill. That will take place until 5 p.m. today. Senator Sessions will control 2 hours, and Senator Leahy will control the remaining time today…

Will the Chair announce the business of the day? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Kaine). Under the previous order, leadership time is reserved. ____________________

The next rollcall vote will be Monday at 5:30 p.m. ____________________

This afternoon the Senate will pay its final respects to a friend and a respected colleague--and that is an understatement--Frank Lautenberg. Frank will lie in repose in the Chamber where he spent three decades of his professional life…

Following the vote on the motion to invoke cloture on S. 953, I ask unanimous consent that the time until 11:45 a.m. be equally divided and controlled between the two leaders or their designees, with Senators permitted to speak therein for…

I now withdraw the motion to proceed. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The motion is withdrawn. ____________________

The Senate will not be in session tomorrow to allow Senators to attend Senator Lautenberg's funeral. I would just mention, I just spoke to the Sergeant at Arms Office and the Secretary's Office. They are very impressed with the effusive…

Before my friend leaves the floor, I appreciate very much him doing his utmost to keep our eye on the problem we have facing this country. We have no more important issue in the world than this issue, period. So I appreciate very much the…

This week the Senate will say goodbye to a valued friend and colleague, Senator Frank Lautenberg. The funeral for Frank will be in New York. He is a great American success story and the Senate's last World War II veteran. As I indicated…

First of all, I thank the Senator from Massachusetts for giving the prayer and doing a wonderful job. Our pastor, who was supposed to give the prayer, was not here. We are all very proud of the Senator, and today we are especially proud of…
