Mr. President, I thank my colleague, the Democratic leader, for the opportunity to speak to this particular issue today. This is an issue that I think has caught the attention of the American people, and, most certainly, the lack of transparency on the matter, which is of real interest to a lot of the folks who have watched from the outside. It brings together, I think, a notable parallel in the withholding of information about items that are in the government's possession regarding, in this particular case, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. That same approach by government in terms of the possible withholding of information brings more questions and more attention to the issue of the assassination. We wanted to take that same approach with regard to how we could dispel myths and misinformation about UAPs--about unidentified flying objects, unidentified objects that simply have come to the attention of the American people. Congress did pass legislation 30 years ago requiring the review and release of all records relating to that historic tragedy--the assassination of John Kennedy--which has led to the release of a great deal of information. The UAP Disclosure Act was closely modeled on the J.F.K. records act.

I think there's a lot of us that really think the Senate was designed in the first place to find a long term, stable solution to problems, so we'll listen to what the president has to say.
All it takes is a blip on the financial markets to delay certain trades by just milliseconds, to put the market into an entirely different attitude about the security and the soundness of being able to make those transactions happen.
Mr. President, I know of no further debate on the nomination. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there further debate? If not, the question is, Will the Senate advise and consent to the Faulkender nomination?
We'll be asking questions. But look, the president always gets the benefit of the doubt on his nominees.
