Why would one question whether the Russians are involved in the election as recently as yesterday if, in fact, you do support the intelligence community?

I rise to discuss the fiscal year 2019 National Defense Authorization Act. I am very pleased that we were able to pass the conference report with a bipartisan vote of 87 to 10. I think it represents the quality of the work that was done by…

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Corker). Without objection, it is so ordered. ____________________

I also yield back the remainder of my time and urge passage of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act.

I concur entirely with the comments of my colleagues about the dangers and challenges presented by China in many different dimensions. I am not going to try to defend President Trump's decision to overrule his administration's penalties on…

I want to take a minute to thank Senator Collins and our staff for their hard work on the THUD bill. Their professionalism and dedication to a thoughtful, bipartisan process has been key to moving this bill smoothly through committee…

I think one of the ironies, as you point out, is that we could be disadvantaged because not only don't we get to make the rules, but our companies, our international companies, will follow the rules in China, follow the rules in Europe…

Well again, I think your instincts are very consistent with the views of most Americans. But this now has been several years, and we are still waiting for the kind of robust response.

I think the time is running out, frankly, and I think we have to move legislatively to set in motion a framework of disclosure.

Is Canada a national security threat to the United States to justify Section 232?

You're using national security as kind of a generalized premise, and I don't think valid premise, to go after countries.

I join my chairman, Senator Collins, in requesting that all of our colleagues file their amendments by 1 p.m. tomorrow afternoon so that we can continue to make progress on this bill. Again, I thank the chairman for her great leadership…

Are they a national security threat to the United States, justifying legally--you're a lawyer--the imposition of this 232?

Most of our allies and trade partners share the same concerns about China's state-driven, mercantilist policies on trade and technology transfer.

Many countries also agree that China continues to game the WTO's international rules-based trading system.

I rise in support of this amendment. Amtrak's Long-Distance Routes serve as critical connections on our national rail network in 39 States and the District of Columbia. In fact, they are the only intercity trains in 24 States where Amtrak…

as we consider the appropriations minibus this week, I rise to emphasize once again the importance of acknowledging and addressing the threat of interference in our election systems. In particular, Congress must address the continuing…

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Sullivan). Without objection, it is so ordered. Russian Election Interference

I rise in support of H.R. 6147, the so- called appropriations ``minibus,'' which includes the fiscal year 2019 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations bill, as well as three other bills. I am…

I thank the chairman for recognizing me and for the opportunity to speak, and my colleagues on the other side of the aisle for the efforts that they have put into the Palliative Care and Hospice Education and Training Act. Mr. Speaker, I…

I thank Mr. McClintock for yielding me such time as I may consume to address the subject matter of this bill. Mr. Speaker, for once on this floor, this is a laughing matter. The purpose of this bill is to officially designate the National…

I assume you are familiar with the Military Lending Act, so if a servicemember would prefer to go to court to enforce his or her rights, instead of being forced into arbitration, do you think that servicemember's choice should be protected?

So I only can assume that you, in fact, used the term 'deterrent' and did not object to it and feel that is the appropriate policy consideration.

The Military Lending Act has been recently strengthened by the Department of Defense with new regulations to close loopholes and to prevent unscrupulous lenders from preying upon servicemembers, men and women.

as I and many of my colleagues feared, the Trump-Putin summit was disastrous, and their press conference amounted to a disinformation operation in which President Trump played the willing participant. The propaganda, dissembling, and…
