John Cornyn: “I would like to thank our friend Senator Cramer for telling us this story about this great American patriot. Many of us…”

“I would like to thank our friend Senator Cramer for telling us this story about this great American patriot. Many of us are of that age where we are the children of members of the ``greatest generation'' who have their own stories to tell. Just listening to Senator Cramer talk about this great patriot who fought at the Battle of the Bulge, one of the most horrific battles in World War II and most consequential battles--that is really where they really stopped Hitler, finally, toward the end of the war--it reminds me of people like my dad who flew B-17s out of England during the last part of the war. Their job was to knock out the Hitler war machine. But there are so many great stories from that generation. These great World War II patriots are getting older, and they are leaving us, but certainly we will always remember them and their contributions. So I appreciate the Senator from North Dakota sharing that with us. S. 1260 Mr. President, the Senate is moving quickly, I hope, toward a vote on a far-reaching proposal to confront threats from China. Based on everything we know about the might and the ambitions of the Chinese Communist Party, there is a clear and urgent need for us to take action. Every year, the U.S. intelligence community issues a threat assessment report outlining the greatest challenges confronting our country on the horizon. Topping the latest report, which was released last month, is China's push for global power.…”
