As remarkable as the 14 strikeouts my friend referred to is the fact he did not walk anybody. What a remarkable athlete. We can only hope and pray that his arm holds up and that he has the kind of career everyone is anticipating. There was…
S. 2891, introduced by Senator Reid, to allocate and expand the availability of hydroelectric power generated at Hoover Dam.
I think it's important that Congress reauthorize these power allocations as soon as possible and while we have broad bipartisan agreement between the major stakeholders.
The Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations of the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs has received requests from Federal and State government entities seeking access to records that the subcommittee obtained during…
I would say to my friend, most of the things that are listed here emergencywise--they are not coming to Democratic States. We have had these acts of God in most instances that happen where they happen. We have two Senators from Tennessee…
I say to my friend, he knows how much I support his efforts. But I haven't had the opportunity to speak to Senator McConnell. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to agree to something without consulting with him. I can't consult with him…
I am not going to belabor the point, other than to say to my friend, there has been a tentative agreement between the two managers of the bill, including offering your amendment dealing with annuities. That is an important amendment. I…
I think it would be better if we were able to at least get rid of that amendment in a positive way. I think that is a very important amendment. If I had to choose between the ATM amendment or the amendment dealing with annuities, it would…
In the conversations we just continued over here, I tried to work something out. It was my understanding that the minority, the Republicans, agreed to allow the Senator's amendment dealing with annuities to come up.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said that they will try again tomorrow.
Every day, in every city and town around the country, brave men and women--all of whom volunteered to serve their communities--put themselves in danger to protect us--their friends, their neighbors, and so many they will never even know…
As Solicitor General, Ms. Kagan is a member of the President's administration. The President, on Monday, also said: We are friends. The Vice President's chief of staff, who helped oversee her nomination, is evidently hard at work…
For all the Senators here, we may have 141 amendments, but this is not the first time we have had 141 amendments on a bill. I have looked at a catalog of the amendments, and a lot are on the same subject. What we are trying to do is find…
I rise today to acknowledge an important achievement for Nevada's Cold War veterans and their families. These individuals served their country at the Nevada Test Site, where over one thousand nuclear weapons detonations took place over…
The Senator from Nevada [Mr. Reid], for Mrs. Boxer, proposes an amendment numbered 3737 to amendment No. 3739. At the end of title II, add the following: SEC. 212. PROHIBITION ON TAXPAYER FUNDING. (a) Liquidation Required.--All financial…
I want everyone in the Senate to know that the negotiations we hear so much about are never going to end. We have to get on this bill. My friends on the other side of the aisle should understand, we have negotiated in good faith and we…
I consider it a privilege to work with Arlen Specter. He is a strong contributor to our caucus, a valuable Member of this body and, most importantly, a fine public servant for the people of Pennsylvania. It would not surprise anyone to…
The Elko County Board of Commissioners is in unanimous and strong support of the proposed S. 3185
I want to thank Chairman Wyden, Senator Barrasso, and the other members of the committee for holding this hearing on the Elko Motocross and Tribal Conveyance Act, S.3185.
The Federal Government has to do a better job of publicizing miners' safety rights and increasing their support of miners who exercise those rights.
Five coal mining disasters in barely 4 years is not only a crisis, it's a national disgrace.
Politicians like Harry Reid
