I will keep pushing for consideration of my amendments, which are being banned from consideration on this floor, because if we are going to have a ``robust and open amendment process,'' we should, in fact, have a robust and open amendment…

during this trade debate, we have often heard a lot about the words ``enforcement'' or ``enforceable,'' particularly the phrase ``enforceable labor and environmental standards.'' But the fact is there are no enforceable labor and…

I am zero for three now in terms of being able to get substantive amendments, serious amendments on this floor for debate, but I will try to on one more, and this one is anchored in recent news that we have seen the country-of-origin…

I see my colleagues on the floor who have their own amendments to address. I will conclude by saying that if I can't get up one of my four amendments to be debated--all substantive and all addressing key components of this agreement--then…

Thank you, Mr. President. I am saddened to hear that there is an objection in a context in which the majority leader has argued that he is going to have a robust and open amendment process. So why is there an objection to bringing an…

So these are real concerns, and I think it is important to keep looking at it. The public deserves to know what chemicals are put into the ground on public land.

I have some concerns about it. It is weaker than many States.

That pretty much violates or wipes out the entire fling of the disclosure.

This is chemicals on public land. This is our public land.

a few moments ago, we heard an argument that this envisioned trade agreement will increase the number of products that are stamped ``Made in America,'' ``Made in the United States of America.'' Certainly that is the argument that has been…

But should the public not have a right to know what chemical soup is put into the ground on public lands?

I rise to address legislation before us, the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015, which sets up a deliberate process for congressional review of a final nuclear agreement with Iran. The United States, our citizens, our President, and…

I think both sides of the aisle benefit greatly from these sorts of voluntary efforts.

One of the things that we have really been encouraging are the candidate conservation agreements with assurances.

The Endangered Species Act is not broken. Since this bipartisan law was enacted in 1973 under President Nixon, it has been 99 percent successful in recovering listed species.

I rise today to discuss the budget that is before the Senate, this combined House-Senate Republican budget. In evaluating this budget proposal, my core question has been this: Is this a budget that works for working America? Or is this a…

It is our responsibility not to politicize the science or the biology needed to recover a particular species, but to heed the warning signs given to us by science.

Thank you for your leadership on this issue, this world challenge.

Thank you all so very much, and that example shows the powers of grassroots action, that it is not just about leaders who help drive policy or change but citizens together standing up and saying we are changing how this is done.

I rise to draw attention to the dangers of new and insidious tobacco products that are ensnaring our youth and to urge the FDA to take long overdue action to protect our children from these products. First, I thank the Senators for coming…

Can you reassure us that the Federal Government will continue to adhere to using EPEAT standards in its procurements?

This amendment is targeted at something that is very relevant to EPA, and that is cancers and the possibility that that cancer cluster is being caused by some toxic substance.

this is a case where there was a rare bone cancer with multiple folk being affected in a very small area.

But I also support this amendment. Here is why. We have a compromise strategy in the bill.

I hope that it is more than hope. I hope it is a reality. I appreciate your personal efforts to accelerate this process.
