Whatever happened to the guy that turned off the wrong engine?

I want to thank Senator Capito and everyone. Some are not aware that we have competing committees, and it is difficult to be in two places at once.

over the past--first of all, let me just agree with the Senator from Nebraska. She is exactly on target here. This is a problem that we are in a--I have said several times, I cannot remember a time that we have not been--that we have been…

I have to say that we really did a good job in terms of the private sector.

on Friday, September 17, 2021, Vance Air Force Base celebrated its 80th anniversary. On this day, we honored the community, leadership, cadre of instructors, and over 35,000 pilots Vance has trained since 1941. Vance AFB is the top…

I ask unanimous consent that I be recognized as if in morning business for such time as I shall consume. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

first of all, I am going to do something that is a little bit unusual. I will start off by saying thank you. We have got a lot of people to thank. Yet we never seem to do that. When we look at what happened in Afghanistan over the past 20…

I am going to be--in case some people leave before we get to the second part of the program, we have got a great article here by Andrew Wheeler.

We keep hearing that 2014 has been the warmest year on record. I asked the chair, you know what this is? It`s a snowball. And that just from outside here, so it`s very, very cold out.

My friends, the amendment--my amendment--is designed to protect a very small population but a very significant population: the babies with Down syndrome. Over two-thirds of the unborn babies diagnosed with Down syndrome in the United…

I call up my amendment No. 3331 and ask that it be reported by number. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the amendment by number. The bill clerk read as follows: The Senator from Oklahoma [Mr. Inhofe], for himself and others…

I urge my colleagues to lay aside their party differences and think about the lives and the lives-- The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator's time has expired. Who seeks time?

I know we have all been talking about what is going to happen in the next 2 days, and it is very significant, the things that have to take place. But I want to remind some people out there that it doesn't mean that everything else stops…

With this, I would like to offer my friend, since he has been waiting for a long period of time, to use the remainder of my time if he will then yield the floor to me at the conclusion. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Maryland.

I thank my friend. We worked on a lot of bills-- infrastructure--together since we were both elected the same year many years ago and we accomplished a lot together. What I want to do is complete my remarks that I began a few minutes ago…

first of all, I am here today to share some news about a key subject we have been talking about for quite some time, and that is Ligado. It is a complicated thing. It is something where one company was able to get rushed over a weekend in…

I would add to that group the NTIA, which represents a lot of government in addition to what I just read. I would like to add the names--I have a list here of well over 100--talking about Aerospace Association, Agricultural interests, the…

it is my understanding that prior to my remarks on the floor, we were going to recognize the Senator from Minnesota for 10 minutes or so. So if that is still desired by the Senator from Minnesota, I would be glad to yield. And since the…

I was able to include the authorization for the West Tulsa levee system.

it is loud and clear, and we have heard this.

The American Society of Civil Engineers has given the inland waterway system an overall grade of D-plus.

You need to look at the life safety, what is being protected, the people, the industry, utilities that are behind that levee.

let me thank my friend for recognizing me for something that I consider to be and that he considers to be and the rest of the Senate considers to be very significant. Our hearts are very heavy today because, like so many of my colleagues…

We will continue to work together, as we have in the past, with successes.

I ask unanimous consent that I complete my remarks before the vote is called. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
