I wish to say a few words about our colleague, Senator Jon Kyl. I have always appreciated his comments, his thoughtfulness, his patriotism, and his intellectual leadership in the Senate. He will be sorely missed after 18 years in the…

Texans have a profound sense of history, and it is only appropriate that Senator Hutchison should mention the fact that we both come from long lines of Texans, starting with Thomas Jefferson Rusk, who first held her Senate seat, and Sam…

can you tell me how much time is remaining on this side? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Fifteen minutes.

I am a little confused. I do not know whether the distinguished majority whip is talking about the expiring tax provisions on December 31 as being manufactured or a bipartisan agreement or--what part of this did we have a chance to vote on…

reserving the right to object, the problem with the Senator's proposal is that this piece of legislation he has referred to has not passed out of committee in the Senate. It has not passed the House. This bill, the STEM Act, has passed the…

at this time I yield to the distinguished Senator from North Dakota and then, following that, the distinguished Senator from Iowa for any comments he cares to make.

I appreciate the remarks of the distinguished Senators from Iowa, North Dakota, and Kentucky. I think what people find so maddening about Congress and Washington, DC, is even when we agree, we still cannot seem to get anything done. How is…
