Ms. Harrington, how will DOE comply with the terms of 50 U.S.C. 2566 which mandate a metric ton of plutonium leave South Carolina by January 2016?

If the commander refuses the JAG's recommendation, it goes to the Secretary of the service. If the JAG and the commander both say this is not a case we want to prosecute, when it is in the area of sexual assault, it goes to the commander's…

Why is it nobody seems to think taking the commander out of the loop is going to help the problem? Because you cannot solve the problem in the military unless the commander buys in. I cannot think of any change in the military that is…

That is a very good question. The commander in the military is just not somebody. The man or woman in charge of that unit is the person to whom we give the ultimate authority to decide life- and-death decisions for that unit. So if we deal…

if we wanted to find the definition of leadership in 2014: McCaskill, Ayotte, and the great Senator from Nebraska, three women taking on an issue head on. To those of my Democratic colleagues who are going to stick with making reforms…

You stop after it's 60 percent complete, it is just not a good model to use.

Everything I have done has been about what I think is best for the country.

The point I'm trying to make is that there's been too many times in the last six months where the president has told people, if you don't do what I say, there will be consequences and nothing's happened.

My commitment to this subcommittee is to try to reduce the cost of the MOX program.

When you draw a red line and you tell Assad, when you use chemical weapons on your own people, that will be a red line, and you flinch.

It's not just about Ukraine. It's about our standing in the world.

It started with Benghazi, when you kill Americans and nobody pays a price, you invite this type of aggression.

I just don't think this is very wise. I think we need to fix it before we get ourselves in a very bad way with the Russians.

I wouldn't agree to allow the Russians to immobilize, because somebody down the road could reconstitute.

in order to offer amendment No. 2752, the Iran sanctions amendment, I move to table the pending Reid motion to commit and I ask for the yeas and nays. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second? There appears to be a sufficient…

In addition to Burr amendment No. 2752, there are many amendments on our side of the aisle waiting to be offered. Parliamentary inquiry: Is it correct that no Senator is permitted to offer an amendment to this bill while the majority…

With that, I understand Senator Burr and others on our side have filed an amendment which would impose additional sanctions against the Government of Iran if it violates the interim agreement with the United States, and I ask unanimous…

I thank my colleagues. Now is the time for us to move forward to set the stage for a vote; is that correct? Well, I will say, No. 1, as to the amendment of Senator Burr, it takes care of veterans similar to what Senator Sanders is…

Perhaps the Senator from New Hampshire could walk us through some of the reasons we now know the story line of a protest caused by a video doesn't hold water.

My colleagues will be here in a moment. I will start. Thank you for recognizing me. Senator McCain has arrived. The time has come, colleagues, for us as a body to provide some oversight that is missing when it comes to the death of four…

I ask unanimous consent for Senator McCain, Senator Ayotte, and me to engage in a colloquy for approximately 20 minutes. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection.

In addition to the Burr amendment No. 2752, there are many amendments on our side of the aisle waiting in the queue to be offered. Further parliamentary inquiry: If a motion to table the Reid motion to commit is successful, would there be…

What's the difference in missions of a Black Hawk and an aircraft attack aircraft?

A 1- to 3-year delay in the AMPV RFP would put the larger combat vehicle portfolio investment plan and alignment at risk.

You're telling us Congress hasn't given you and your colleagues the tool to deal with this threat. Is that fair to say?
