We do not know much about cybersecurity, and what we are trying to do is to learn it and to make good decisions.

I do not believe there was actually any evidence found where they actually did anything.

I rise today to offer my strong support for Judge Neil Gorsuch, President Trump's pick to replace Justice Scalia on the Supreme Court. On Monday, his nomination passed out of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and we expect to confirm him…

I find that very inappropriate. I do believe there is a moral hazard involved in that.

I rise to discuss the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly known as ObamaCare, on its seventh anniversary of being signed into law by our previous President, Barack Obama. Looking back at what has happened to healthcare…

I ask unanimous consent to speak as in morning business for a period of 10 minutes. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

I ask unanimous consent that notwithstanding rule XXII, at 2:15 p.m., the Senate vote on the Friedman nomination and that, if confirmed, the motion to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table and the President be immediately…

the Asian carp has become an emerging threat to not only our rivers and lakes, but literally, as pointed out earlier, the physical safety of boaters.

The reality is that we cannot go to war without women anymore, can we?

I agree with you that the reauthorization is critical and that it should be timely and that it should be one that runs over a period of years.

The Department of Homeland Security, which is charged with protecting critical infrastructure, defines it as the assets, systems, and networks, whether physical or virtual, so vital to the United States that their incapacitation or…

It is clear the world is not any safer now than it was in 2014.

My understanding is that there is a possibility that we will be looking at perhaps reducing the number of F-15C's due to the increasing costs of maintaining the structural integrity of that aircraft between now and the year 2020.

The average American may be surprised to know that, in 1991's Operation Desert Storm, 60 percent of all deployed troops and 25 percent of all cargo airlift went by commercial carriers, not military airlift.

I believe the deterrence value of long-range strike to hold targets at risk, targets that are quickly becoming harder and harder to access.

I think we should explore all of that because more capability against the threats we face is what is needed in the Pacific Command.

Would you agree that this UON should be updated to reflect these changing conditions?
