it is December, so America's attention turns once again to the great debate of our times: What is the best Christmas movie? Is it ``White Christmas,'' maybe ``Elf,'' ``A Christmas Story,'' ``Home Alone,'' or ``Die Hard''? That is a good…
where I come from in Utah, $700 million is a lot of money. Seven hundred million dollars is something we ought to worry about where we are going to get it. It is not unreasonable for us to request that the House of Representatives agree to…
it has been an honor and privilege to work with my friend and distinguished colleague, the senior Senator from Illinois, on this important project. I have been working on bringing about an end to the arbitrary per country caps put in place…
Haiti is, indeed, a country in crisis and we are long overdue for an honest assessment of the policies of the United States toward Haiti as this crisis has developed.
Once again, I just have to say my heart continues to ache for the people of Haiti.
These protests were sparked by the disappearance of millions of dollars of assistance provided to Haiti by Venezuela under the PetroCaribe program.
needless to say, he got the job. He flourished there as he has everywhere else. Then, in 2018, David Barlow, to the great happiness of many of us in Utah who know and love him, decided to return to Utah, and he joined Dorsey & Whitney…
I come to the floor today to discuss my friend, my former colleague, and soon-to-be confirmed Federal District Judge David Barlow. Last night, the Senate voted to invoke cloture as to Mr. Barlow's nomination. We will be voting later today…
as more Americans enjoy longer lives than ever before, it is more crucial than ever that retirement plans and the policies that govern them keep pace with healthcare innovation and demographic change. That is the reason why a bipartisan…
I ask for the yeas and nays. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is, Will the Senate advise and consent to the Luck nomination? Is there a sufficient second? There appears to be a sufficient second. The clerk will call the roll. The senior…
we can't just talk about income inequality without talking about racial and income economic inequality.
Thank you for holding this hearing and for your tremendous work and leadership.
I think that one of the things that we have--we have seen over the last couple of years is women taking back their rights, and it is not just women. It is people. It is LGBTQ people. It is trans people. Basically, standing up and saying we…
I believe that we must protect God's creation. We must secure the future for future generations to come.
These bills also greatly reflect the mission of this select committee to put forward bold legislative ideas to help reduce greenhouse gas pollution.
We need America to be a leader in addressing the climate crisis that is affecting women around the world.
As a person of faith, Madam Chair, I believe that we must protect God's creation.
My bill and the resolution will help bring attention to two populations who are often overlooked, women and students, as it relates to climate change.
We need to teach every young person the human impacts of climate change and how to address our warming plant--quite frankly, before it is too late.
I would respectfully ask members of this committee and my colleagues in Congress to become cosponsors of H.R. 1880--Women and Climate Change Act of 2019 and H. Res 574--resolution on teaching climate change in schools.
This is why my bill is so important, because it would help bring attention to this very important issue.
My bill would also establish a working group within the U.S. Department of State to help brainstorm potential solutions to address the disproportionate effects that climate change has on women and their families.
I rise to honor Utah's valiant citizen, MG Jeff Burton, adjutant general of the Utah National Guard, and to pay tribute to him for his many years of devoted service to our Nation and to the great State of Utah. As General Burton closes a…
