The fact is, carbon is produced and methane is produced in a million different ways.

I rise today on the 50th anniversary of the Selma marches and to call on Congress to come together to protect all Americans' sacred right to vote. In March of 1965, thousands of Americans came together in Alabama to march the 54-mile…

I ask unanimous consent that my intern Jackman Wilson be allowed privileges of the floor for the balance of the day. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

I rise today to address the motion to override the President's veto of S. 1, which would force approval of the construction of the Keystone Pipeline to transport tar sands heavy oil from Canada to the gulf coast. We will be having that…

I really celebrate this type of partnership between the goal of conservation and the practices of local ranchers.

Our whole goal in Oregon is to avoid a listing.

Should we not succeed in doing it, it could be a catastrophe in many, many ways, for all of the stakeholders.

Thank you for framing in the budget a 5 year reauthorization with mandatory United States Forest Service funding.

The counties are hurting greatly.

That creates an enormous inefficiency and failure to pursue many of the goals that we have laid out in the budget.

Thank you, Mr. President. I appreciate the points that have been made by my colleagues from Ohio and Pennsylvania and the remarks yet to be made by my colleague from Rhode Island. We are here on the floor together to raise fundamental…

I appreciate the administration putting forward the AUMF. I think it is our responsibility under our Constitution to wrestle with it.

I rise tonight to urge Congress to quit playing political games with our national security. It is time to have a clean Homeland Security funding bill on the floor of the Senate to be debated. We are only days away from a potential shutdown…

I would like to see us put a timeframe on 2001, despite, as you point out, that there is an enduring threat.

We have to understand that all our lives, the danger, the uncertainty, the need for alertness, for effort, that discipline will be upon us.

I rise today to urge our colleagues to come together quickly to pass a clean Homeland Security bill. We are now just 16 days away from a Homeland Security shutdown. The clock is ticking. A shutdown would be wholly unnecessary and, quite…

I just want to make sure that the economy of our Oregon coast doesn't shut down, as it has come close to a number of times when dredging was not funded.

I look forward to hearing their testimony and exploring ways that we can maximize the effectiveness of their good work on the ground.

Thank you for bringing forward a plan that encourages each State to find the most cost effective, flexible way of taking on carbon dioxide.

Currently, we are on a path where our carbon pollution has gone up to 400 ppm, up from about 270 ppm for the industrial revolution.

That commitment came out of a dialog with China about the need for all the nations of the world to proceed to take on this issue?

Certainly we have benefited, if you will, from utilizing fossil fuels on a scale much larger than individual citizens in China or India.

Thank you. And I will mention in my last few seconds here that the pilot project in Talent Irrigation District with Bear Creek, the funding is much appreciated.

We are having substantial droughts, three of the worst ever droughts in the Klamath Basin in just the last decade and a half.

I thank you for putting forward a plan that helps put the United States in the leadership role of working with the nations of the world to take on this devastating challenge.
