Madam President, I appreciate Senator Barrasso and his leadership on so many issues in this Senate. It is a sad event that we are now filing an objection to the movement of an appropriations bill because it violates the Budget Act…

Very good. So I will wrap up and ask unanimous consent that there be 30 minutes under my control at 3 p.m. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Without objection, it is so ordered.

I thank the Chair. Well, the fundamental problem is that our Democratic leadership has decided it would be foolish to have a budget, even though it is required by law. They have refused to produce a budget now for 806 days--over 2 years…

Mr. President, I will just wrap up and close at 2 o'clock. I understand under our agreement that 2 o'clock will start the time allocated for the Democratic speakers as they may appear, and there would be time at 3 o'clock under my control…

Madam President, I thank my colleagues for their excellent presentation. They are excellent Senators. And, from all that appears, they produced a piece of legislation that will be positive for our country. But the pending measure, H.R…

That is correct. I am sure in 1974 they were concerned about the process in the Senate. They decided to try to bring order to it. They decided to require the budget be passed which sends a message over to the Appropriations Committee. This…

Madam President, I object and would debate the issue. I make this motion for a very important reason, not directly related to the quality of the work of Senator Johnson and Senator Kirk in producing this bill, but a very important question…
Jul 14, 2011
Madam President, I would say this is a very important matter, and I don't like to have to take this action, but I believe it is the right action. I see on the floor Senator Corker from Tennessee. He was mayor of the city of Chattanooga and…
