I think it is time, finally, to enact this savings account to support equity building for our Nation's kids so we can also at the same time support emergency savings for their parents.

I rise tonight to defend the people of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania--to defend the more than 6.9 million voters who voted in this election--and to condemn, in the strongest possible terms, this attempt to disenfranchise the voters of…

I rise today to express concern over a monumental breach to the Nation's national security infrastructure. Last week, the Washington Post, among other publications, reported hacks of several government agencies by way of the SolarWinds…

I just want to make a couple of brief comments about the legislation we are going to be voting on, we hope, tonight. I will talk about, for purposes of time, not the spending bill or the spending portion, the so-called omnibus. I will talk…

as we approach the end of another year, I rise to remember all those American men and women who have given what President Lincoln called ``the last full measure of devotion'' in service to this great Nation. I often reflect on the…

I rise today to unfortunately look back with sadness on the deadly toll of COVID-19 this year. I will focus my remarks on my home State of Pennsylvania, but of course the stories that I will relate about individuals we lost--of course many…

today I rise to discuss the dangerous practice we have in this country that forces people with disabilities to wait for benefits and healthcare coverage. I would first, however, like to congratulate my colleague, the senior Senator from…

I ask unanimous consent that the bill be considered read a third time and passed and that the motion to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Without objection, it is so ordered…

I rise today to urge this body to pass H.R. 1773, the Rosie the Riveter Congressional Gold Medal Act. This bill would honor the American women who joined the workforce in support of the war effort during World War II. Millions of women…

I rise to speak about the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to be an Associate Justice on the U.S. Supreme Court. That has been the subject of, I know, a number of floor remarks tonight and this morning. We know that in terms of the…

I want to start tonight by just making a few remarks regarding what is ahead of us in the next few days, and that is the debate about a Supreme Court Justice. I won't be able to cover everything tonight that I want to cover, but I will…

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The Senator from Pennsylvania.

I want to thank my colleague from Michigan for outlining the stakes for the American people. I will start tonight with the two principle reasons we gather tonight on the Senate floor. We gather on this floor tonight to reflect upon the…

I rise tonight to talk about a couple of issues I know that will be considered--at least I hope will be considered--in the negotiations that are under way. Later in this hour, we will be joined by three of my colleagues: Senator…

I rise this morning to cover a couple of topics. One is on some comments on the legislation that I hope we are going to complete to provide relief to the Nation with regard to both the public health crisis and the jobs crisis, and then I…

there is one more item to address before I relinquish the microphone. We know that yesterday was the 30th anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act, to which I just referred--the so- called ADA. This is legislation…

I rise this afternoon to talk about long- term care and a number of related challenges that confront our country, especially at this time. One of the most horrific numbers in all of the horror that we have seen in the aftermath of the…

I know of no further debate. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there further debate on the resolution? Hearing none, the question is on agreeing to the resolution. The resolution (S. Res. 661) was agreed to.

I further ask unanimous consent that the preamble be agreed to and that the motions to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table with no intervening action or debate. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered…

I ask unanimous consent to speak as in morning business. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered Russia

I want to thank the senior Senator from Michigan for her leadership. I will say more about her work in a moment. We would not be here tonight talking about this program that we know by the acronym, but the words are all important…

before we close tonight, I want to talk about a story that is troubling a lot of Americans--one that we have just learned about in the last couple of days--and that is the recent events regarding the U.S. presence in Afghanistan and some…

I think the reference was to Senator Schatz's bill, and I am just asking, on behalf of the Democratic Senator, if the chairman would take a look at that bill.

I yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Perdue). The Senator from Maryland. ____________________
