It strikes me that the relationship between the college or university and the local police department is very important.

I think that needs to be a part of the record if members are going to bring up so-called Climate Gate.

PolitiFact ruled a false for that report.

I think it is important for the hearing that we also include the Washington Post analysis of their claims which earned four Pinocchio's.

The only thing necessary for evil to be triumphant is for good people to do nothing.

We cannot wait for other countries who are even bigger polluters to take leadership.

The real and clear issue with regard to climate change is that it is a threat we have to take seriously as a Nation.

[W]e have a message that transcends political affiliation: the United States must move now on substantive steps to curb climate change, at home and internationally.

We cannot risk our kids' futures on the false hope that the vast majority of scientists are wrong.

National defense leaders have sounded the alarm that climate change is a serious national security threat.

We have to get this done, and we have to get it done now.

I do think that we need to figure out how we organize a common resource that can have their back and be their distant early warning system in a better way than we presently do.

I look forward to continuing to work with you on this.

I am not convinced yet that we are doing the thinking that we need to be doing about what our cyber enforcement structure needs to look like 5 years out and 10 years out.

Under the previous order, there will be one vote at 10 a.m., two votes at noon, followed by a recess until 2:15 p.m. for the weekly caucus meetings, and then three additional votes at 2:30 p.m. ____________________

If there is no further business to come before the Senate, I ask unanimous consent that it adjourn under the previous order. There being no objection, the Senate, at 8:23 p.m., adjourned until Tuesday, June 10, 2014, at 10 a.m…

It is not an objection at this point, but I think it is our understanding that the Senator from Oklahoma will speak for 20 to 30 minutes but that the time would revert to me at the conclusion of his remarks after 20 to 30 minutes. If that…

As I said, you are a key player in these negotiations as they go forward, and we look forward to working very closely with you to drafting a bipartisan, effective JJDPA reauthorization that can move smoothly through the Senate.

I really think this has been very, very helpful, and I have known Judge Bedrosian and Elizabeth Burke Bryant for many, many years, and I am very proud of the service and the skill and the compassion that they bring to their work.

It is really time to look at cost-effective nature of what we are doing with our juvenile justice funds.

There is an observation I have heard repeatedly, so much so that it has really finally sunk in, and that is that kids who succeed in school can identify an adult in the school community who they believe really cares about them.

We had, I think, some very good work on that in the bill that just passed out of the Senate Judiciary Committee in a very bipartisan fashion, 15-2.

Not only in school but it's particularly true for this transition.

The time spike during the course of the day... caused a huge spike in activity.

The question of reentry is one that at the adult side has received very good bipartisan attention in Washington with the Second Chance Act.
