I wanted to ask you about Lebanon. When I was there in July for the first time, I was stunned by--and maybe I shouldn't have been--but stunned by the overarching and dominant presence that Hezbollah has in that country.

We don't have a level playing field on protection of intellectual property and it's costing us jobs.

China is very efficient at stopping information getting to its citizens when it wants to, but seems to be very lax when it comes to stopping piracy.

I think we have made some progress, but we still are not there yet.

I believe still at this point we should continue supporting the Lebanese Armed Forces.

Thank you for your testimony today and for your great work here and around the world.

I wish to take a couple moments to express my gratitude, and I think people across the country--if we can get this done--will express their gratitude as well. At a time when the economy is still recovering--and there is good news that the…

So we're grateful for your recognition of that and your work to advance the same causes and the same goals that he--the same values, I should say, that he espoused.

Thank you, Senator DeMint.

A central element to this relationship is enlisting the talent and dedication of the Pakistani American community.

I have been a longtime supporter of strengthening institutions in Pakistan and believe that we should be doing all in our power to enhance our relationship not only with the Pakistani Government and the Pakistani military, but also with…

We have met with family members of the victims and understand their anguish over this heinous act of terrorism.

I rise to offer a tribute to honor Robert W. Bogle and the Philadelphia Tribune newspaper. Bob Bogle's family and many of his friends are with us in Washington, DC. They traveled from Philadelphia and other parts of our State and beyond to…

First, I thank Senator Brown and others who have helped us in this battle. Just a couple of words about trade adjustment assistance as it relates to Pennsylvania and, more importantly, Pennsylvania workers. As many people know, the trade…

Trade adjustment assistance is basic to people's lives when they lose a job. Over the years it has had a lot of support from both parties. It is about training, income support, reemployment so people can get from joblessness through no…

I do not think it is asking that much to go from here to May 8. I do not think we are helping the economy at a very difficult time when there is objection after objection. But I hope the American people understand what is at stake here in…

I rise tonight to speak about the conflict in Afghanistan from one perspective; that is, of those who have given their lives in the service of our country. ... But even though it is inadequate, even though it falls short of what we hope it…

the Vice President and the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, Michael Corbin, have described and characterized our civilian mission in Iraq as the largest since the Marshall Plan.

We will be watching it very closely, because, after $58 billion, we were told that Iraqi oil would fund the full costs of our invasion.

the longer this issue is left outstanding, a de facto situation exists that makes it almost impossible for people to be able to return to their communities.

What are we doing so that people who want to return to their original communities can do so safely?

I strongly support the relocation of Iraqis who have assisted the United States, here in America, who are at risk in their own country.

Every Senator here took an oath to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. We have an obligation to support a strong national defense. First, a world without New START is one in which more nuclear…

I thank Senator Brown, as well as Senators McCain and Kyl, for entering into this agreement. It extends this for a short period of time. It is important as it relates to manufacturing jobs in a State such as ours, where we have lost over…

when I came to the Senate in 2007 as a Senator-elect, one of the first things I did was to go see Senator Specter. He asked me at the time to go to lunch, and from the moment that I arrived in the Senate, he made it very clear to me, not…
