I suggest the absence of a quorum. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Perdue.) The clerk will call the roll. The bill clerk proceeded to call the roll.

pursuant to section 904 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, I move to waive section 305(b)(2) of that act for the purposes of the pending amendment, and I ask for the yeas and nays. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second…

I rise to speak in favor of amendment No. 82. This amendment protects women's health care. Under the Affordable Care Act, we made many changes that made a huge difference in the lives of everyday American families. It said to women in…

I rise to oppose the amendment of the Senator from Nebraska. While we all support community health centers, and they are very useful in the State of New York as well, this is just another attempt to end the protections the Affordable Care…

I rise in favor of amendment No. 82. This amendment would make it so anyone in Congress trying to destroy the Affordable Care Act would not be allowed to touch women's health care services. I have been listening to my colleague from…

I think we should look at people who already have these skills who are already committed to serving our Nation as best we can.

I want to ask you, do you think we should take things like the Democratic or Republican Party infrastructure and consider them to be critical infrastructure?

I have long been advocating for aggressive development of the manpower that we need to support our cybersecurity mission.

I have been pushing DOD to use the Guard for years and appreciate that this is beginning to happen.

I rise today to speak in support of legislation to address a serious public health concern: the spread of Lyme disease and other tick-borne diseases in the United States. In my home State of New York, there were 37,977 reported cases of…

I actually would invite you to look at New York for your next site.

We've been really looking at this issue of retaliation very hard.

We need to have a much more integrated response to these attacks.

I think you, among others on this committee, were the ones who really tuned us in to retaliation as another dimension of the sexual assault problem we needed to combat.

if there's any further authorities or resources you need to continue to develop the strongest cyberforce we possibly can, if you could give that to me so I can put it in the NDAA.

I do think the program needs to be adjusted because it has not worked well.

Your commitment to addressing rural poverty, particularly the persistent poverty that robs too many children in rural areas of their future, has really been important and remarkable.

I just want to associate myself with the questions that were asked by Senator Bennet as well as Senator Leahy.

So they did not get as much money as they would have thought, and so they really found the program to be unhelpful.

Hillary believes women deserve equal pay for equal work. The choice in this election could not be clearer.

Donald Trump actually stood on a debate stage and said that wages are too high. Hillary knows that in the richest country in the world, it is unacceptable that a mom with two kids working full-time still lives in poverty.

We are the only industrialized nation that doesn't guarantee workers paid family leave. Many women can't even get a paid day off to give birth. Most parents work outside the home, yet child care can cost as much as college tuition…

I rise to speak about three amendments to this bill that I think would help keep America safe from gun violence. After so many tragedies, including the mass murder earlier this month in Orlando, this Chamber has had one opportunity after…

I ask unanimous consent to speak for a few moments before the gavel comes down at 12:30 p.m. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. ____________________

I rise to join my colleagues in questioning why this body, after so many horrific tragedies over the years, still refuses to pass laws that would make us safer from massacres like what happened in Orlando. I thank my colleague from…
