section 36(b) of the Arms Export Control Act requires that Congress receive prior notification of certain proposed arms sales as defined by that statute. Upon such notification, the Congress has 30 calendar days during which the sale may…
Well, if I could, reserving the right to object, I would like for us to have some degree of discussion about this in the future--either to finish our business at a normal time or to come back the next morning. This is a ridiculous process…
The changes that have occurred at the White House in the last several hours, and this--it has been an unusual day, I will say. Mr. McCONNELL. Well, my good friend from Tennessee knows that my principal responsibility is begging, pleading…
reserving the right to object, the House sent a bill over today a little after 1 o'clock, and it is 11:56 p.m. I know that every Senator here has the right to object, and I assume some people have objected to voting. We are not going to…

I rise today to speak about the omnibus bill that we are going to be voting on either later today or tomorrow. I came to the Senate almost 12 years ago. I have 9 months left in my term. I told folks back home that I couldn't imagine…
very briefly, I just want to set the record straight. The House of Representatives voted to say that the war in Yemen is not covered by the 2001-2002 AUMF, and I think this body would agree. They did not do as was just mentioned by the…
I have enjoyed hearing the discussion about the item before us. I must say that I would feel a whole lot better about this debate if it were focused on our refueling French jets going into Mali--the same exact debate. I assume these…

I have 9 requests for committees to meet during today's session of the Senate. They have the approval of the Majority and Minority leaders. Pursuant to rule XXVI, paragraph 5(a), of the Standing Rules of the Senate, the following…
I wish to thank the Senator from New Jersey, my good friend, the ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, for his comments. Today we met with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, a very impressive young man who is…
I wholeheartedly support his nomination. I am confident his diverse background will give him the necessary qualifications to serve TVA's important mission.
I think there would be total upheaval in the Senate if that would happen.
I enjoyed listening to the comments of my friend from Ohio. I think you guys are going to like the amendment I am getting ready to offer. Today I rise to offer an amendment to S. 2155--the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer…

I will be very brief as I know numbers of people here would like to speak to this bill, which will be an accomplishment for us, and we greatly appreciate the Senator's leadership in making it happen. I was here when Dodd-Frank was passed…

In rolling out its new South Asia strategy last August, the administration underscored the United States' hard-fought security gains in Afghanistan and reiterated our commitment to helping establish a foundation for political resolution.
What we really care about is the individual bars and that their securities are guaranteed.
