Do you think the European Union is a foe of the United States?

So none of this good news we are talking about today is a result of this tax bill, it is too early?

The issue of wages has been discussed by several of my colleagues and yourself.

What was heard was someone who is making indefensible statements, in my view, completely undercutting his intelligence services and supporting Putin, who has his whole career has been undercutting democracy.

It was unprecedented and outrageous. So, the President of the United States on foreign soil standing next to a Russian autocrat, undercutting his own intelligence service, the men and women who risk their lives to protect this nation, and…

I think, in effect, he has done that today. That long discussion privately with Putin, who knows what has been said and what inadvertently might have been leaked that reveals our source, our methods or information that we don't want Putin…

I think they rise to the level that not only questions his support of our basic -- his basic responsibilities to preserve, protect, to defend the constitution and the United States, but, again, I think the issue here is how do we move…

I ask for the yeas and nays. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second? There appears to be a sufficient second. The question is on agreeing to the motion to instruct. The clerk will call the roll. The bill clerk called the roll.

this would instruct the conferees of the National Defense Authorization Act conference to support our traditional relationship with NATO, reaffirm our commitment to work with them, recognize their work with us as they deploy personnel in…

today I have submitted a motion to instruct conferees on the National Defense Authorization Act regarding the critical importance of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization for the security of the United States, for our protection. I join…

I commend Senator Cornyn and Senator Feinstein for their extraordinary work on this vital legislation and urge complete support. I yield the floor, and I yield back all time. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is on agreeing to the motion…

This Act is bipartisan. Senator Collins, Senator McCain, Senator Warner, this is something that is absolutely critical.

Mandatory disclosure requirements were previously shown to incentivize firms to adopt better cybersecurity measures.

I fear that months, weeks, years from now, there is going to be a cyber disaster, and we are all going to look back and say, 'Gee, if only we had done something.' Now is the chance to do it.

Cyber is the number one threat to the U.S. Transportation Command, but I believe it is the number one threat to the Nation.

cybersecurity is something that is not a passing fancy.

I am pleased to be joined by Senator Blunt in reintroducing the Building a Health Care Workforce for the Future Act. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, by 2030, there will be a shortage of up to 120,000 physicians…

I am proud to reintroduce the Career and Technical Education for Adult Learners or the CTE for All Act with my colleague, Senator Baldwin. Our legislation addresses the critical need to expand educational opportunities for working adults…

as we approach the vote on final passage of the fiscal year 2019 national defense authorization bill, I would like to make a few closing remarks. At the completion of floor debate on the NDAA last year, I remarked in my closing statement…

I ask unanimous consent to address the Senate for 1 minute. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Without objection, it is so ordered. Amendment No. 2885

I call up amendment No. 2885 to amendment No. 2276. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report. The bill clerk read as follows: The Senator from Rhode Island [Mr. Reed] proposes an amendment numbered 2885 to amendment No. 2276.

the Reed amendment would name a fellowship program on behalf of Senator John McCain. I can't think of anything more fitting, in addition to the naming of this bill, than naming this fellowship program on behalf of Senator McCain. I hope…

I ask unanimous consent that the reading of the amendment be dispensed with. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The amendment is as follows: (Purpose: To improve the amendment) At the end, add the following: SEC…

first, let me thank the Senator from Oklahoma for his graciousness in allowing me to respond. As I read the language of the bill, the language we had in place since 2004 was stricken. That language prohibited, essentially, the production…
