Harry Reid, for example, the new Senate majority leader, is talking about encouraging the president to personally convene a regional conference, including Syria, as well as Jordan and Saudi Arabia and Egypt, to talk about alternative…

They have set a very bad example in not working with us. We're not following that example.

We have to have results in doing something to make health care more affordable and more available. We have to do something to create energy independence.

The election's over. It's time for a change.

If the vote of last night from all over America didn't accomplish anything but this, it was a good night.

The American people have spoken clearly and decisively in favor of Democrats leading this country in -- in a new direction.

I bought a piece of land, sold it six years later. Everything was reported. It was all transparent.

I rise to recognize the newest members of the Nevada Newspaper Hall of Fame. This month, the Nevada Press Association inducted Frank, Tony, and Ted Hughes into the Hall of Fame for their contributions to journalism in Nevada. For more than…

I support, as did the Senator from Colorado, tough border security. I voted, as did the Senator, for an amendment in the context of an immigration reform bill that would have authorized for Homeland Security Secretary Chertoff 370 miles of…

I hope that if there are going to be amendments, one of the amendments we need to take into consideration--I am sure the leader has heard from his Members, as I have heard from mine--is disaster relief. I hope we have this vehicle moving…

The problem with the managers' amendment, all the amendments are Republicans' amendments. We don't have the numbers, but I think we have a few amendments that would strengthen the bill. We have discussed this publicly and privately and…

I know I speak for both of us in expressing our appreciation to our Senate staff. It is 2:30 in the morning, and they have been here long, long hours. We get a lot of things done here, but it is not on our own. We have a wonderful staff…

we can build the tallest fence in the world, and it won't fix our broken immigration system. Nor will it strengthen security on the borders. to do that, we need the comprehensive reform that the Senate passed earlier this year. We have…

I rise to honor the life of Special Agent John Lawrence Bailey. More than 15 years ago, Special Agent Bailey gave his life in the line of duty. Today, in a fitting memorial, law enforcement agents throughout Nevada enter the Federal Bureau…

on a bright and sunny September morning 5 years ago, history changed in an instant. Our Nation was attacked. Nearly 3,000 of our citizens were murdered, and our lives as we knew them were forever changed. The family members of those who…

Senator Jeffords has been a friend and colleague for many years. We had the opportunity to serve together in the House of Representatives. We served together in the Senate. To say that he has made history during his time in Congress is an…

Like the do-nothing Congress of 1948, it's very difficult to get anything out of this Republican Congress.

What is going on in those communities is absolutely immoral, wrong, vile, and we must do something to stop it.

I can't imagine my little children being taken across state lines, being married when they're 13, 14, 15 years old, and then being in abusive situations.

The federal government must do something about that. We have laws, and they should be enforced.

I would further say just briefly that, yes, we do have this matter before us. Is it what we want? The answer is, probably we think we could do better. That is why we would agree on this side to have a limited number of amendments and have…

I told her how I felt. I told her it is unfortunate that this legislation has been put aside since last July until today. I also told her that I personally support the legislation. I cosponsored it. I think it is important legislation. I…

The present course is doing more harm than good.

We are truly indebted to Judge DeAnda. Indeed, it is only fitting that as our Nation begins a month-long celebration of Hispanic contributions to America during Hispanic Heritage Month, we take this time to acknowledge Judge DeAnda. We are…

last week, hundreds of family, friends, and admirers gathered in Houston, TX, to honor the life of a WWII veteran, legal giant, and true American hero, U.S. district judge James DeAnda. Judge DeAnda died last Thursday, September 7, 2006…
